Quarterback C.J. Stroud played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes before he was selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. He made an immediate impact during his first year with the team including leading the franchise to its first playoff berth since 2019.

Since then, C.J. has continued to shine on the field becoming one of the most exciting players to watch and now fans want to know more about the Texans signal-caller.

C.J. was born to parents Kimberly and Coleridge Bernard Stroud III on Oct. 3, 2001, in Rancho Cucamonga, California. He has three older siblings Isaiah, Asmar, and Ciara. Their mother filed for divorce from their father in 2012 and Coleridge is currently serving a 38-year prison sentence after being convicted on charges of carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, and misdemeanor sexual battery.

Kimberly raised her children as a single working mother and the family struggled financially. Throughout the ups and downs of his childhood, C.J. continued to focus on athletics. When he was 12, he received a call from Priest Brooks, a former rapper and producer with Death Row Records. At the time, Brooks was coaching the Pomona Steelers in the Snoop Youth Football League, which was founded by rap icon Snoop Dogg.

“Kids in other communities didn’t have football that met the prices that their mothers could afford,” Snoop told ESPN about the youth league he started. “At the same time opening up to other kids as well. But the initial thought was to help out the urban inner-city and give them opportunities to play.”

The youth league taught C.J. invaluable lessons and how to build relationships with his teammates.

He recalled: “I started hanging out with guys off the field, my mom would have kids come over and spend the night. She would allow me to go over to their houses. It was good for me to learn, this is how you build a brotherhood. I wasn’t even thinking about that back then. But now that I’m older, that’s what that was.”

In high school C.J. was named offensive player of the year, MVP of the Elite 11, and selected to play in the 2020 All-American Bowl before he committed to Ohio State.

The quarterback ended his rookie campaign with the Texans setting franchise records for most passing yards in a rookie season and most passing touchdowns in a rookie season. He also tied the rookie record for most passing touchdowns in a playoff game by throwing three against the Cleveland Browns. The Texans cruised to victory in that game making C.J. the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game in league history, at the age of 22.

In July 2023, C. J. signed a 4-year, $36 million contract which included a $23 million signing bonus. He has an estimated net worth of $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

What Is the Net Worth of Travis Kelce’s Ex-Girlfriend Kayla Nicole, Who Has Been Romantically Linked to Cowboys Star Micah Parsons?

Michelle Kapusta — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:25:00 +0000

Breakups are hard enough but even more so when millions of people are hearing about it and forming opinions. It also has to be extremely difficult when your ex starts dating one of the most famous people on the planet, and their relationship is in the headlines every day.

Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, knows exactly how that feels. After five years together, she went through a public breakup with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end before watching, along with the rest of the world, as Kelce began a love story with Taylor Swift. Fans then wanted to know if Nicole had started dating anyone and for a while, she was linked to another NFL star.

Rumors swirled that Nicole was seeing Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons after she was spotted taking in a few of his team’s games. An eyewitness also claimed to have seen them together on a dinner date engaging in some PDA. However, Parsons and Nicole never confirmed those reports. And if there was a romance, it appears to have fizzled out as the athlete is said to now be in a relationship with the mother of his second child.

Since there is still such an interest in Nicole’s love life though she recently revealed her type. Here’s more on that, plus her age, occupation, and net worth.

Nicole was born on Nov. 2, 1991, in Los Angeles to parents Roosevelt Brown and Robin Curry.

She attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism. After graduation, she began working in media and has covered events for the NBA, BET, Global Grind, HotNewHipHop, All Def Digital, New York Fashion Week, and ESPN to name a few.

Nicole has done some modeling as well and worked as a brand ambassador for Savage X Fenty by Rihanna. She also founded the Strong Is Sexy site for health and wellness and has become a social media influencer with more than 780,000 followers on Instagram alone.

Several outlets have reported that Nicole currently has a net worth of about $2 million.

Nicole hasn’t been quiet since her ex started globe-trotting all over the world with his pop star girlfriend. Nicole put out a few cryptic posts, while others have been direct responses to Swifties who she says trolled her on social media. And some believe that a few risque pics she’s posted were to get Kelce’s attention and show him what he’s missing.

In August, Nicole had to answer a question about her former relationship when she sat down with Life & Style to discuss the type of man she’s looking for these days.

She told the publication: “My type now is someone of good character [and] loves their family.” She then joked that he would also need to be “6 foot 5.” Nicole added that she wants someone who is “driven” and “very forthright.” She explained that she’s not so much into physical appearances as she’s into someone who is going to be a “good, loving, and down-to-earth, fun person.”

Nicole was then asked if her last public relationship “changed the idea” of what she wants in a partner to which she responded: “I would never put that on my last relationship. I think men, in general, in today’s society are just tough. Women are tough. We’re humans, just tough to deal with. Both sides of the coin.”

Who Has a Higher Net Worth Following Their Divorce: Tom Brady or Gisele Bundchen?

Michelle Kapusta — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:15:00 +0000

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen surprised a lot of people when they divorced after 13 years of marriage. While there were rumblings for months that the retired NFL star and retired supermodel were having marital issues, many were stunned when Brady confirmed in October 2022 via his Instagram Story they had already divorced.

“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another,” the former quarterback wrote. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”

Brady and Bündchen both amassed impressive net worths while together, but many are wondering who is worth more since their split. Here’s the answer to that and more.

Tom Brady’s net worth

Brady spent the first 20 seasons of his career with the Pats. According to Spotrac, the signal caller earned approximately $235 million over that time period.

In March 2020, TB12 took his talents further south when he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There, he inked a two-year $50 million contract that included $9 million in incentives. The GOAT has earned more than $473 million between his football salary and multiple endorsement deals.

But even though he hung his cleats up in 2023, Brady wasn’t totally done with the game. On May 10, 2022, reports surfaced that he had signed a 10-year $375 million deal to join Fox Sports as a broadcaster during NFL games. At $37.5 million per year, the deal is the largest contract in sportscasting history as he’s earning a little more than twice as much as quarterbacks-turned-commentators Tony Romo and Troy Aikman.

Celebrity Net Worth noted that today Brady has a massive net worth of $300 million.

Gisele Bündchen’s net worth

Brady’s net worth is certainly impressive but is it more than his ex-wife’s?

Bündchen signed a five-year, $25 million contract with Victoria’s Secret in 2000, becoming one of the brand’s Angel spokesmodels. She went on to become one of the most sought-after runway and fashion models. Between 2012 and 2017, the Brazilian beauty was the highest-paid model in the world.

Bündchen has walked in shows for Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Christian Dior. Some of the brands she has done ad campaigns for include Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and Versace to name a few. She has earned more than $500 million over the years in endorsement deals.

Bündchen has done some acting as well, co-starring in the 2004 remake of Taxi. In addition, she played the character of Serena in The Devil Wears Prada. In 2018, she released her book Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. She also owns her own fashion brand.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bündchen’s estimated net worth is an eye-popping $400 million; $100 million more than her ex-husband.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Travis Kelce or Jason Kelce?

Michelle Kapusta — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:25:00 +0000

If you aren’t an NFL fan, you may not have known the names Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce until the latter began dating the biggest pop star in the world. Of course those who always watched football on Sundays knew exactly who the brothers were long before that as they are both tremendous athletes. But there’s no denying that Travis gained even more fame in every corner of the globe for his relationship with Taylor Swift.

In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end‘s whole family got worldwide recognition they didn’t have before thanks to millions of Swifties. And that has translated to people paying even more attention to them off the field with other projects like their New Heights podcast for which the siblings inked a deal with Amazon’s Wondery worth more than $100 million over three years.

After the announcement was made the Kelce brothers released a statement via ESPN that said: “We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights. We love this show and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to New Heights! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon, 92%ers!”

Now some are wondering about their fortunes and who’s actually worth more. Here’s the answer to that, plus how much Jason is getting for his new gig following his retirement from the NFL.

Jason Kelce’s net worth

On March 4, 2024, after an incredible 13-year career that included a Super Bowl win, Jason retired as the center for the Philadelphia Eagles. But fans knew they hadn’t seen the last of sports star on television and many predicted that networks would be fighting over who would land him.

That was the case as several reports claimed that ESPN, Fox, NBC, and CBS all tried to secure a deal to get him. Jason ended up choosing ESPN because that network gave him “full freedom” to continue working on his New Heights podcast with Travis.

Jason had this to say about joining the Walt Disney Company: “Turns out, it was a short retirement! I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports. To now appear on that same screen is a full-circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”

While the exact details of Jason’s contract for the pregame show haven’t been released it was reportedly for north of $1.8 million over three years with a sign-on bonus of $1 million. During his playing career with the Birds, he earned around $86 million in total salary. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jason currently has a net worth of $50 million.

But is that more than his younger brother’s net worth?

Travis Kelce’s net worth

If you guessed that Travis has a higher net worth than Jason you are correct.

After being drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, Travis inked a four-year deal for just over $3 million. He went on to sign a five-year $46 million extension in 2016. In late April 2024, Travis signed a two-year $34.25 million extension. That contract works out to an average annual salary of $17.1 million and will bring Travis’ career earnings to around $100 million.

The athlete has also raked in around $5 million a year in endorsement deals with a multitude of companies including McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Nike, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Tide, Bud Light, and State Farm to name a few. In 2023, Travis became an equity investor in Casa Azul Tequila, a brand his famous girlfriend has been seen drinking.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the football star currently has a net worth of $90 million.

Michelle Kapusta — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 23:18:06 +0000

Elton John is one of those singers almost everyone has heard of. He’s been in the business for more than 50 years and has a whole catalog of tunes that can get stuck in your head with just a mention of “Rocket Man” or “Crocodile Rock.”

But John is now making headlines for something that doesn’t have anything to do with hit records or chart-topping singles. Here’s what the musician has just revealed about his health, plus a few other things you may not have known about the entertainer including how old he is and what his net worth is today.

John’s age and net worth

Sir Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, to parents Sheila Eileen and Stanley Dwight. John’s father, who served in the Royal Air Force, was a musician as well. He was a trumpet player in a semi-professional big band that played at military dances.

John began taking piano lessons when he was 7 years old, and at the age of 11 won a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. He formed the band Bluesology in 1966 and that’s when he adopted his stage name.

John released his self-titled debut album in 1970 which spawned plenty of hits. He went on to release more than two dozen Top 10 singles, 38 gold records, 31 platinum and multi-platinum albums, and sold over 300 million records worldwide making him one of the biggest-selling music artists of all time. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. According to Celebrity Net Worth, John has an estimated net worth today of $650 million.

In 1993, John began dating David Furnish, a former advertising executive turned filmmaker from Toronto. The couple married in 2005 and have two sons, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.

On Sept. 3, 2024, John took to Instagram to share news about his health and how he’s been spending the summer recovering.

“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the superstar wrote. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.

“I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”

After John’s announcement, many of his fans as well as his celebrity pals, sent well wishes including Donatella Versace who posted: “Sending you so much love, Elton! Feel better soon. Love you.”

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Jennifer Garner or Her on-Again, off-Again Boyfriend John Miller?

Michelle Kapusta — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 23:20:36 +0000

Jennifer Garner’s name has been in the news a lot lately amid her ex-husband Ben Affleck‘s divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Not only do Garner and Affleck co-parent their three children Violet, Finn, and Samuel, but the 13 Going on 30 star and the Air actor have also remained good friends after their marriage ended. And Garner has become the shoulder Affleck has been able to lean on during his marital woes with the “Jenny From the Block” artist.

On Aug. 20, Lopez officially filed for divorce from her husband of two years and listed their separation date as April 26, 2024. Following that news, it was reported that Garner and her partner, John Miller, were “taking a break” leading many to believe that Affleck’s drama with J.Lo was affecting Garner’s current relationship. But a source close to the couple says not so fast.

Here’s why the brakes are being pumped on that report, plus a few things you didn’t know about Miller including his impressive net worth and whether it’s higher than Garner’s.

Who has the higher net worth Garner or Miller?

Miller was born in 1978 in Los Angeles and graduated from Stanford Law School.

His first high-profile job was as the Vice President of Intellectual Property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. He has become a successful businessman and today serves as the CEO of CaliGroup, which owns the CaliBurger chain of restaurants. CaliGroup has investments in technology companies involved in robotic automation and AI for restaurants and facial recognition for payment. Miller is also a published author and has a net worth of $20 million, according to The Things.

While Miller’s net worth is impressive, it isn’t near as much as Garner’s. The movie star has been in the entertainment business since the mid-90s and is featured in more than three dozen films and TV shows including Electra, Pearl Harbor, Valentine’s Day, Dallas Buyers Club, and Peppermint to name a few.

These days, she has an estimated net worth of $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Garner and Miller have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2018 after her divorce from Affleck was finalized. In August 2020, they reportedly split because he wanted to get married but the Daredevil actor was not ready to walk down the aisle again. In March 2021, she revealed that she was single; however, in February 2023, they were spotted out together and insiders said they had been back on for a year.

Now, Life &Style has reported that their relationship has “suffered” as Affleck began to rely more and more on his ex-wife when his marriage to J.Lo fell apart. The publication claimed: “Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it just took a toll she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice.”

But despite that report, a source responded telling People that’s not the case and that Garner “is happy with John.”

Miller and Garner have always tried to keep their relationship as private as possible and haven’t spoken about each other publicly, so we’ll just have to stay tuned and see how this turns out.

Rolling Loud Miami 2024 Headliners Ranked by Net Worth

Matt Moore — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 18:46:37 +0000

The Rolling Loud music festival comes to Miami, Florida, on Dec. 13-15 at the Hard Rock Stadium. It’s a homecoming of sorts for the concert, returning to the city where it began 10 years ago.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rolling Loud, festival organizers have assembled a worthy lineup. Some of the biggest (and richest) names in rap will be on hand, trying to ensure the Miami shows match the star power on display at Rolling Loud Los Angeles earlier this year. And just as impressive as the lineup is the individual net worths of each Rolling Loud Miami headliner for 2024.

https://twitter.com/RollingLoud/status/1823042154999976085

3. Playboi Carti

Rapper Playboi Carti comes in third on the list of the richest headliners for Rolling Loud Miami 2024. The Atlanta, Georgia, native is worth an estimated $9 million.

Playboi Carti’s net worth stems from sales of his two studio albums, Die Lit and Whole Lotta Red. A third album is expected later this year.

Beyond his music releases, Carti also founded the record label and rap collective Opium to add to his bottom line. Five headlining tours and some modeling work have also expanded Playboi Carti’s net worth.

2. Future

Future will also headline Rolling Loud Miami 2024. The 40-year-old rapper (born Nayvadius DeMun Cash) has a net worth of $50 million.

Future became a professional rapper when he signed his first record deal in 2011. Since then, countless hit singles and chart-topping albums have inflated his net worth.

Tours with Drake, Metro Boomin, and Meek Mill further lined Future’s pockets. Thanks to his music career and endorsements, Future purchased a $16 million mansion in Miami in 2023.

1. Travis Scott

Travis Scott has the highest net worth among Rolling Loud Miami 2024 headliners. The rapper boasts an estimated net worth of $80 million.

It didn’t take long for Scott, 33, to make a name for himself in hip-hop and start earning millions. His first major-label recording contract came in 2011 with Epic Records. He also became a producer for Kanye West’s GOOD Music and signed a record deal with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records.

In 2018 alone, Scott earned $20 million from record sales, streams, touring, and a shoe deal with Nike. His Astroworld tour grossed $65 million in 2019, and a year later, he signed a $20 million endorsement deal with McDonald’s.

Scott has put that net worth to use, making several real estate purchases over the past few years. He bought a $23.5 million mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles in 2020. Scott and then-girlfriend Kylie Jenner bought an L.A. mansion for just over $13 million in 2018 before selling it for $22 million in 2022.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth Taylor Fritz or His Girlfriend Morgan Riddle?

Michelle Kapusta — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 14:13:00 +0000

Taylor Fritz has become one of the biggest stars in the sport of tennis. He has won several ATP tour singles titles in his career including the 2024 and 2023 Delray Beach Open and the 2023 Atlanta Open.

In 2022, after his thrilling match against Rafael Nadal at the Wimbledon Championships, Fritz garnered headlines around the world and so did his girlfriend Morgan Riddle. She had social media buzzing over her reactions as she rooted for her beau. The TV camera time earned the TikTok influencer tens of thousands of new followers and she has been referred to as “the most famous woman in men’s tennis.”

But is her net worth higher than Fritz’s? Here’s the answer to that.

Morgan Riddle’s net worth

Before meeting Fritz, Riddle attended Wagner College in New York. While in school, she started posting lifestyle content on Instagram and TikTok. She graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in English language and literature.

Riddle worked as a real estate agent before getting into the social media and influencer marketing space. She has held positions at companies such as Food Network, Love Your Melon, Hollywire, and MuteSix.

Riddle and Fritz began seeing each other in 2020 after they met on the dating app Raya. She started traveling with her boyfriend on the ATP Tour, documenting their stops across the globe. In one viral post, Riddle said she’s on a mission to make “tennis cool again” and broke down a few things about the sport. She often shares photos of her outfits for different tournaments as well. In 2023, the influencer was featured on the Netflix series Break Point with Fritz.

Today, she is a full-time content creator with well over 300,000 followers on Instagram and around 500,000 on TikTok. Riddle has an estimated net worth of $1 million.

Riddle’s net worth isn’t as much as her tennis-playing beau.

Celebrity Net Worth noted that since turning professional in 2015, Fritz has earned millions in prize money. The athlete has also raked in plenty of cash from his endorsements and partnerships with the brands Hugo Boss, Rolex, and the Austrian sports equipment company Head. In addition, he has a deal with the restaurant chain Chipotle, which for years has been his go-to spot for post-workout meals.

“After practice, I’ll then have lunch. For me the lunches depend on the workout for the day,” Fritz said (per Tennis.com). “If it’s like a really tough workout, then I might get something a little heavier like a Chipotle bowl … You can be unhealthy with your bowl if you want to get like a ton of cheese on it, but you can also just go in and get chicken, rice, vegetables, and guacamole and that’s a great meal after you’ve just worked out. I think a lot of people don’t understand how good it is as a post-workout meal. It’s got everything.”

Today, Fritz has an estimated net worth of $3 million.

What Is Pedro Pascal’s 2024 Net Worth?

Antonio Stallings — Thu, 09 May 2024 00:43:00 +0000

Pedro Pascal has become a household name thanks to projects like Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. But how much has his net worth increased after becoming one of Hollywood’s top stars?

Pedro Pascal’s current net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pascal is currently worth $10 million. It was a fortune that, on the surface, he seemed to accumulate relatively quickly after his breakthrough Game of Thrones role. But his rise to success was a long and slow process.

He’d already been a presence in Hollywood in the 90s, having done bit parts in small shows like Buffy and The Good Wife. There was a point where Pascal’s good friend Sarah Paulson even paid him personally to keep his acting aspirations alive.

It’s unclear how much he earned during his brief time on Game of Thrones. But the HBO series led Pascal to scoring the lead role in Netflix’s Narcos. The show lasted for three seasons. According to The Things, it’s speculated that Pascal made $2 million from the series.

He experienced more exposure and a huge salary bump thanks to his time on The Mandalorian. It was reported that he made $400,000 – $500,000 per episode in the show’s third season. But his Mandalorian earnings were exceeded by his Last of Us salary, which saw Pascal walk away with $6 million.

Pascal’s net worth should only grow from here. He has a second season of The Last of Us coming up, which may see a slight increase in his salary.

He also might be the new face of Marvel after being cast in the Fantastic Four. It’s unclear what his base salary is for the feature, but the Marvel franchise is known to treat stars very well if they stick around. Robert Downey Jr., for instance, is worth $300 million, and that’s in large part due to his run as Iron Man. If Marvel returns to its glory days, Pascal might end up topping the Forbes list in a few years’ time just like his predecessor.

Pedro Pascal revealed that ‘Buffy the Vampire’ saved him

Buffy might’ve been one of the most important projects that Pascal’s ever been a part of. He was only on the show for one episode, but that one episode had major implications going forward.

Recently, he talked about his time on the show at the Sag Awards. There, Pascal saw his career reach another high after winning the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the ceremony, Pascal reflected on how Buffy might’ve paved the way for his journey to the Sag stage.

“We’re talking about being able to see a doctor, getting sick, getting a surgery, paying my rent when I had less than $7 in my account, and a residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day, and literally is the reason I was able to stay in it and not give up,” he said.

Pedro Pascal’s success didn’t happen the way he envisioned it in his head

Pascal belongs to a long list of stars like Viola Davis and Samuel L. Jackson who found great success in their 40s. Although his dream paid off in a big way, there were times he came close to walking away from acting for good. In an interview with Esquire, Pascal imagined he’d achieve his goals at a much earlier time. So when he didn’t, it was very discouraging.

“My vision of it was that if I didn’t have some major exposure by the time I was twenty-nine years old, it was over, so I was constantly readjusting what it meant to commit my life to this profession, and giving up the idea of it looking like I thought it would when I was a kid. There were so many good reasons to let that delusion go,” he said.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos?

Michelle Kapusta — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 22:44:34 +0000

There was a time when people thought about Amazon, Jeff Bezos would come to mind. And when they thought about Tesla, Elon Musk would. Nowadays, you might just think of them as two of the richest men on the planet. But how rich are they?

Here’s the answer to which billionaire has the higher net worth. Plus, who the “richest person in the world” is today (it’s not Musk or Bezos).

Elon Musk’s net worth

Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.

In 1992, he moved to America and attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Musk earned two degrees from the Ivy League school — a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics.

His first company was Zip2 Corporation, which has been described as an “Internet version of the Yellow Pages” with maps to help users find local businesses. In 1999, Musk sold Zip2 for a little more than $300 million. The same year, he co-founded X.com (not to be confused with the social media platform formally known as Twitter), an online financial services company. In 2002 X.com, which had merged with Confinity to form PayPal, was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock. That meant Musk, who was PayPal’s largest shareholder, received $175.8 million.

He also founded Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) in 2002. The following year, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla. Musk, Ian Wright, and J.B. Straubel were the company’s first employees and named co-founders. In 2022, Musk bought what was then known as Twitter for $44 billion including $33.5 billion in equity.

The world’s largest e-commerce company was started by Bezos in a garage in Seattle. Some may remember that Amazon initially sold just books, but the online bookstore later began selling anything and everything you can find at other retailers around the world and offered the convenience of having those items delivered straight to your door. Amazon is expected to overtake Walmart as the largest retailer.

Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000 and purchased The Washington Post in 2013. He also owns stakes in Uber and Airbnb.

These days, Bezos has a higher net worth than Musk. According to Celebrity Net Worth, as of this writing Bezos’ estimated net worth is $204 billion.
