Founders & Entrepreneurs

113 profiles
People who started the company rather than joining it or inheriting it: consumer brands, software firms, restaurant groups, agencies and single-product businesses that grew into something. Founder wealth is equity, not pay, and most of these companies are still private — so the number moves with a valuation nobody has to publish. That is the single biggest reason founder estimates are revised so often, and why the date on each figure matters.
