Reid Hoffman, Entrepreneur, $2.4 billion

Reid Hoffman is a successful internet entrepreneur famous for founding the LinkedIn social network for business and professional networking. Before attaining such heights, Hoffman worked as an employee for companies like PayPal, Fujitsu, and Apple.

Hoffman has always been successful in many ways, right from childhood. Still, it’s a really long way from the time when he farmed for maple syrup and drove oxen during high school. He has since sat in as a partner for Greylock Partners in 2021 and is one of the world’s billionaires at 54 years of age.
