What is Eduardo Saverin's net worth?

In Miami, Saverin attended Gulliver Preparatory School. He then attended Harvard University. At Harvard, he was president of the Harvard Investment Association, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, and a member of the Phoenix S.K. Club. While an undergraduate at Harvard, he used his interest in meteorology to predict hurricanes and make $300,000 through investing in oil futures. He graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2006.

That summer, Eduardo moved to New York City to take an internship with Lehman Brothers while Mark moved to Palo Alto to work on what eventually became just "Facebook.com."

In late 2003, Mark approached Eduardo with his idea for TheFacebook.com. Eduardo provided the funds Mark needed to buy servers and get the site up and running. TheFacebook.com launched in February 2004. As co-founder, Saverin held the positions of chief financial officer and business manager. Saverin is one of four co-founders of Facebook.com, along with Mark Zuckerberg,Dustin Moskovitz, andChris Hughes.

By the time Mark Zuckerberg was living in Palo Alto to run the business, Eduardo owned 34% of Facebook.

While Mark moved to Palo Alto to run the business, Eduardo opted to accept a summer internship at Lehman Brothers in New York City.

Eduardo Saverin is a Brazilian-born internet entrepreneur who has a net worth of $30 billion. Eduardo Saverin is famous for being one of the co-founders of Facebook. Eduardo provided Facebook with its very first investment, roughly $15,000 back in late 2003. TheFacebook.com was launched in February 2004. Eduardo was a junior, andMark Zuckerbergwas a sophomore. Those funds went towards paying for the company's first servers and other startup costs.

Saverin met Mark Zuckerberg during his junior (and Zuckerberg's sophomore) year at Harvard. Mark had recently been hired by the Winklevoss twins to create an early social network called The Harvard Connection. Mark instead decided to develop a web version of a physical book that was distributed to all freshmen at colleges that showed a photo with some basic biographical information. This book was called "the face book."

Eduardo Luiz Saverin was born on March 19, 1982, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to a wealthy Jewish family. His family moved to Rio de Janeiro while he was growing up. His father, Roberto, worked in the clothing, shipping, and real estate industries. His mother, Sandra, was a psychologist. He has two siblings. His Romanian-born grandfather, Eugenio Saverine, was the founder of the chain of children's clothing stores called Tip Top. In 1993, Eduardo's family immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Miami, Florida, after Eduardo's name was discovered on a list of kidnapping victims by gangs specializing in kidnapping for ransom.

Eduardo essentially never did anything else for Facebook and, in fact, was in a legal battle against the company and Mark Zuckerberg within a few years. Yet even with all the ups and downs, Eduardo's $15,000 investment has turned him into one of the richest people in the world today. Saverin is the only Facebook co-founder to have absolutely no decision-making power or connection to the company's operation. After Facebook went public, a filing showed that Saverin held 53,133,360 shares worth a total of $2.18 billion, or just under 2% of Facebook's outstanding shares. That would have been worth a lot more had he not sold off more than half of his shares before the IPO.

In summary, the total wealth of Eduardo Saverin reflects strategic moves.
