Tim Ferris is an entrepreneur, author, blogger, podcaster, and investor. Due to his success in each of the various elements of his career as an entrepreneur, Ferriss is now a rich man. It is estimated that his net worth is $100 million. Here is how Tim Ferriss accrued his wealth.
His Early Life and Starting His Career
Tim Ferriss was born in East Hampton, New York, and attended St, Paul’s School, which is a highly selective prep school in New Hampshire. He then studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Eastern Asian studies at Princeton University. Following his graduation from university in 2000, he landed a job working for a data storage company. However, he was already ambitious and wanted to start his own company. In 2001, while he was working for the storage company, he started an Internet-based nutritional supplements business called BrainQuicken. Ferriss spent nine years building up his company and making it a success. Eventually, he sold BrainQUICKEN in 2010 to a private equity firm based in London. Although he was moving on from this business, he had already taken steps to get his next venture off the ground.
Investing and Mentoring
Since selling his business in 2010, Tim Ferriss has put a lot of time and energy into being an angel investor and mentoring startups. Some of the startups that he has advised or in which he has invested include Reputation.com, TaskRabbit, Trippy, DailyBurn, Shopify, Evernote, and Posterous. Furthermore, he was also a pre-seed money advisor to Uber. This company was co-founded by Garrett Camp, who is also the founder of StumbleUpon, which is also a company that Ferriss advises. Ferris has had phenomenal success on behalf of the companies he advises or in which he invests. Therefore, it is little wonder that he was listed by The New York Times as one of the most notable angel investors. Similarly, CNN described him as one of the world’s leading angel investors in technology. One example of how he did this was when he raised money for Shyp in 2013. He formed a syndicate on AngelList and raised under $250,000 in under an hour. He eventually raised more than $500,000 through his backers. Ferriss made the decision in 2015 to take a break from investing. He felt that the long-term impact he could make was minimal. His decision led to him moving away from Silicon Valley as he felt the Bay Area was no longer right for him professionally.
