Who you got here?

My first thought is Tim-Berners Lee. Inventor of WWW and HTTP. Basically the inventor of internet people use.

I think I read hes worth as low as 10 mil ........ there's Youtubers and Only fans "models" that make that in a few months. Just nuts that a person who did so much to change the face of the planet is worth so little comparatively to others.
 
Alfonso Ribeiro has an estimated net worth of $4 million in 2024. Alfonso Ribeiro's net worth in 2024 is sourced from his reality TV stints, dancing, acting works, singing, directing, commercials, and hosting. Ribeiro grabbed massive eyeballs for his participation in the reality show Dancing with the Stars.

$4 million? You can't go a day without seeing Carlton on some TV show or commercial...
 
Dennis Rodman's net worth is supposedly only $500k. But I bet that man has no regrets. He has lived a crazy interesting life, partied hard with who's who, and banged some of the hottest celebrities. Plus he's only a diplomatic call away from getting a few million dollars from his best bud Kim Jong Un
I really like him. I used to watch a lot of celebrity poker with him on so maybe he gambled it?

He did Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and he's a true gentleman. Selfless, egoless thoroughly nice man. He was quite a heavy smoker and gave away his last pack so the opposing half of the house could get a treat.

I met Rodman a few times in the 90s when I was going to Shelter (night club in Chicago in 90s) . Everyone loved him he was nice to everyone. No clue how he could pound booze then play ball hours later how he played all out hustle. Defied all logic .
 
Probably Britney Spears should be worth alot more then she is for how big she was back in the day.
 
What in Last 50 years is as big as the literal internet . The founder only being worth like 10 mil (still alot for most people) ....... but he gave it away for free. He gave away the biggest invention since Electricity.

Im seeing different reports of up to $60million.

But he said it needed to be free to get everyone developing on it so it could take off like it did.

She made many tens of millions just for her Vegas residency nevermind anything else.

I get he wanted it to be free to catch on as quickly as it did but had to be a way to keep some sort of licensing . But in the moment you don't think that way.. then again Tesla wasnt Uber rich either and he created modern day Electricity .
 
Thankfully not everyone is solely motivated by money.

It's like if someone invented a pill to cure cancer. Some would give it away for free. Some would charge $100. Some would keep it under wraps because they know they'd make far more money by allowing millions to go through hell.
