What is Tim Ferriss' Net Worth?
Tim Ferriss is an American author, business owner, investor, and public speaker with a $50 million net worth. He is known for his show "The Tim Ferriss Show" and his book "The 4-Hour Workweek" from 2007. Tim says that most of his wealth comes from an early investment in Uber (before the company went public). Tim has said that his stake in Uber makes up a "unreasonably high percentage" of his net worth.
Early Years Of Tim Ferriss
Tim Ferriss was born in July 1977 in East Hampton, New York. He was born too soon. He grew up in his hometown and went to St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, for high school. He went to Princeton University after he graduated from high school. He studied East Asian Studies there and got his B.A. in 2000 after writing a senior thesis called "Acquisition of Japanese Kanji: Conventional Practice and Mnemonic Supplementation."
Career Of Tim Ferriss
After Ferriss finished college, he went to work in sales for a company that stored data. He started his own online business, BrainQUICKEN, while he was still working at his regular job. When it started in 2001, the company sold nutritional products over the internet. He ran the business for just under ten years before selling it to a private equity firm in London in 2010. He has said that his first book, "The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9–5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich," which came out in 2007, was based on his own experience starting a business from scratch and turning it into a successful one that didn't take up much of his time. His other books include "The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman" (2010), "The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life" (2012), "Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers" (2016), and "Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World" (2017). "The 4-Hour Workweek" and "The 4-Hour Body" were both the best-selling books on the New York Times list.
Ferriss tried to go into television after the success of his books. "The Tim Ferriss Experiment," his first show, ran on HLN in 2013. It only had 13 shows before it was taken off the air. Every episode of the show, Ferriss tried to learn a new hard skill, like cards, surfing, or parkour. In 2017, he tried to get back on TV with the show "Fear(less) with Tim Ferriss," in which he talks to people from different fields. Just like his first show, this only ran for one season.
During his work, Ferriss has also helped startups by investing in them and giving them advice. He has worked for StumbleUpon, Lyft, Evernote, DailyBurn, Trippy, and TaskRabbit, among others. He has also had small shares of Twitter, Uber, and Facebook, among other tech companies. CNN called him "one of the world's top angel investors in technology," and The New York Times included him in their list of "Notable Angel Investors." In 2015, Ferriss said he was taking a break from business. He said he was stressed out and didn't feel like he was making much of a difference in the long run as reasons for his decision. He still has interests in a number of businesses, but he has cut back on the amount of time he spends making new investments and working with startups.
Ferriss started his own audiobook production company, Tim Ferriss Production, in November 2013. "Vagabonding" by Rolf Potts was the first book the company put out. "The Obstacle Is the Way" by Ryan Holiday and "What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars" by Jim Paul and Brendan Moynihan are two other books they have put out.
Ferriss has also tried his hand at radio. He has his own show called "The Tim Ferriss Show" Fortune Magazine chose the show as the best business podcast, and Apple Podcasts put it on their "Best of" list. He was even called "The Oprah of Audio" by The Observer. Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, Neil Gaiman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Edward Norton, Vince Vaugh, Matthew McConaughey, and Maria Sharapova are just some of the people who have been on his show in the past. As of October 2020, Ferriss's website lists a sponsorship rate of $43,200 per episode, with a minimum of two shows to start.
Other Interests and Activities
Ferriss and his dance partner, Alicia Monti, hold the record for the most straight tango spins in one minute in the Guinness Book of World Records. He says that his successful business-running method, which only took a few hours of his time a week, is the reason he has more free time and can do things like tango dancing. Ferriss's other interests and hobbies include learning languages and kickboxing. He has even won a national Chinese fighting title.
The psychedelic study is something else that Ferriss is interested in. He has given at least $2 million of his own money to the study of psychedelic drugs in professional settings. He has also worked to get money for places like the Center for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London and the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
