Dave Portnoy knows how to attract attention to himself. The founder of Barstool Sports did not hesitate to defend his co-host on the podcast «BFFs», - Brianna «Chickenfry» LaPaglia, by releasing a diss track against her ex-boyfriend Zack Brian. Dave is known for his candid honesty, and his song «The Littlest Man» quickly became popular on social media. In addition to his humor, Dave is also known as the creator of a business empire that helped him amass a significant fortune.
Find out what Dave’s net worth is and how he earned his money below.
Dave has established himself as a successful businessman and social media personality. Hailing from Massachusetts, he studied at the University of Michigan and earned a degree in education. In the early 2000s, Dave founded the platform Barstool Sports.
Barstool started as a sports newspaper that Dave handed out to Boston residents in the subway and on the streets. Dave’s writings mainly attracted men, but he eventually expanded the newspaper into a full-fledged digital publication. As he developed content, known as «bro culture» for his audience, Dave’s personality, direct and candid, became known as «El Presidente».
Over time, Barstool gained traction on the internet, expanding its audience after launching various podcasts. In recent years, Penn Entertainment acquired a 36% stake in Barstool for over $ 160 million in 2020. In 2023, Penn acquired the remaining part of the platform for nearly $ 390 million, but Dave bought back the company a few months later for just $ 1.
Thanks to his career, Dave’s net worth is estimated to be $ 150 million by 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In short, yes — Dave has had issues with Zack for a long time. In February 2024, Dave stated that he and Josh Richards were «banned» from attending one of Zack’s concerts because he jokingly called Brianna a «revolving door» in romantic relationships.
«She said, 'Zack banned you from coming to the concert,'» Dave said on the «BFFs» podcast. «Apparently, Zack came back — how many months ago was it — it must have been, maybe, six months. We once discussed on 'BFFs' how Bri just found a new boyfriend».
When the devastating — and public — breakup of Brianna and Zack became known, Dave remained on her side, discussing her experience on their podcast «BFFs» and releasing the diss track «The Littlest Man»
