Tim Ferriss | $100 Million
Ferriss founded BrainQUICKEN. He successfully sold the company, then known as BodyQUICK, to a London-based private equity firm. He created an internet-based nutritional supplements business while still employed at his previous job. Known to many in the business world as the “angel investor,” Tim Ferriss has been keen and wise with his investments. He has invested in various big companies and social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Evernote, Stumble Upon, Uber, Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and a lot more.
Aside from being a master investor, he also ventured into literary work and published a couple of books in finance. His New York Times and Wallstreet Journal bestsellers are the 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Chef, The 4-Hour Body, Tools of Titans, and his latest addition, Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World. If he’s this dedicated and passionate in what he does, then it’s not surprising he now has a $100 million net worth.
