The Net Worth of Sam Bankman-Fried
As of October 2017, Sam Bankman-Fried has a net worth of $22.5 billion. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has been involved with the crypto world for the last four years. He was recently hired as the Director of Development at the Center for Effective Altruism. In his early career, Bankman-Fried was a trainee at the Oxford-based Quantitative Trading Center. In October 2017, he graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in mathematics. His weight is 65 kg and his eyes are brown. His networth is not as huge as that of the Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin, who is also a member of the Forbes 400.
While he was still at school, he started working as an analyst for the Jane Street and Alameda Research companies. During his three years and four months at Jane Street, he became a cryptocurrency zealot and became worth $10 billion. His success in this field can be attributed to the arbitrage opportunities that he spotted in the crypto market. He sleeps on an office beanbag chair most nights.
Bankman-Fried's father, Joseph, is an Oxford professor and his mother, Barbara, is a professor at the university. He was born in San Francisco and studied physics at MIT. After graduating, he joined the Center for Effective Altruism, where he learned about financial analysis. He has given away more than $25 million in the last four years, which is only 0.1% of his net worth.
