Sam Bankman-Fried Net Worth 2024
Samuel Bankman-Fried, also known by his initials SBF, had an estimated net worth of over $10 billion as of 2022.
Even as his cryptocurrency empire began to crumble, Sam Bankman-Fried awoke on Monday as a billionaire. By Friday, his fortune had been completely depleted.
According to Bloomberg net worth calculations, Bankman-Fried was worth around $16 billion at the start of the week.
However, when his cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, went bankrupt, the value of his assets was reduced to zero in what Bloomberg called “one of history’s greatest-ever destructions of wealth.”
FTX declared bankruptcy on Friday, and Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF, resigned as CEO.
This spring, the 30-year-old entrepreneur’s net worth, which was largely based on digital assets, peaked at around $26 billion.
As crypto prices plummeted over the summer, Bankman-Fried emerged as a white knight for the sector, using his FTX exchange and its sister hedge fund, Alameda, to secure lines of credit for crypto companies like BlockFi and Voyager that were on the verge of failure.
In July, he told Reuters that he and FTX still had a “few billion” on hand to help other firms and stabilize the industry.
Bankman-Fried owns roughly 70% of FTX’s US operations, which the index now considers to be essentially worthless.
His stake in online brokerage Robinhood, which was previously valued at more than $500 million, was removed from Bloomberg’s calculation after news reports indicated that it was held through Alameda and may have been used as collateral for loans.
Bankman-Fried, an adherent of “effective altruism,” has sought to make as much money as possible in order to give it away. However, the fate of his charitable efforts is now in doubt.
The entire staff of the FTX Future Fund, which claims to have committed $160 million in grants, publicly resigned on Thursday.
The five-person team stated in a statement that they “have fundamental doubts about the legitimacy and integrity of the business operations that were funding the FTX Foundation and the Future Fund.”
