Billy McFarland's net worth is -$5 million. He is an American who has been accused of a crime and was once the CEO of a company. Billy McFarland is best known for planning the disastrous Fyre Festival, which was meant to take place in April 2017. He was born in New York City in 1991, and he grew up in the town of Short Hills, New Jersey. He went to Bucknell University for a short time but left after only nine months. After he graduated from college, he started an advertising network called Spling. In 2013, he started a company called Magnises with the goal of making a credit card with special perks for young people living in big cities. The card said that people who had it would be able to join special social clubs and get other perks. In the end, the business did not do well.
Fyre Festival: Not long after starting the business, McFarland sent a letter to potential investors saying that the concert was already worth $90 million. He said that this was fair because the company had made millions of dollars from sponsorships and ticket sales. Later, the authorities would show that at that time, the company had only made $57,000 in sales. People were told that the event would be a custom-built tropical paradise with beautiful models and meals made by 5-star chefs served in luxury villas on a private island. The event went global when people who bought tickets showed up to find a third-world mess. The luxury tents turned out to be badly put together tents for disaster aid. The food was slices of cheese on bread that were served in Styrofoam tubs. VIP passes to the event cost $49,000 each. A day pass usually cost $450.
A $100 million lawsuit was filed against Billy and Ja Rule right away. Billy pled guilty in federal court in March 2018 to two counts of theft. He said that he used fake papers to get 26 million dollars in funds. He finally decided to give up more than $26 million and was given a prison sentence of six years.
