David O. Sachs was appointed by Donald Trump as Treasurer for Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency in the upcoming Republican administration. As a well-known technology investor, entrepreneur, author, and even film producer, Sachs has built a strong portfolio over the years. Thanks to his long-term financial success, Sachs has increased his net worth over time.
Find out what Sachs' current net worth is today and how he became wealthy.
Sachs, who is married to his wife Jacqueline Tortorise, has a net worth of $ 200 million by 2024, according to several sources.
A person’s net worth is calculated as the total value of their assets minus the total value of their liabilities, according to Bankrate. Assets of public figures may include their home (s), car (s), stocks, bonds, and other personal items. Liabilities are what a person owes, such as loans.
Sachs' wealth came from several business projects. Primarily, he increased his earnings through investments. During a 2012 interview with SFGate, he explained his past position as Chief Operating Officer of PayPal. Sachs was part of a group known as the «PayPal Mafia», - which included founder Peter Thiel.
After working as the Chief Operating Officer of PayPal (the company was acquired by eBay in 2002), Sachs directed the political satire film «Thank You for Smoking».
«We created PayPal in three years, and we created a movie in three years», - he told SFGate. «Both are great experiences, but PayPal is a billion-dollar outcome that today has over 100 million users and is changing the world. You can achieve things in technology on a scale that is unattainable in movies».
As CEO of Yammer — a corporate social communication platform — Sachs continued to explain the company’s goals, mission, and more.
«Because the software is web-based and does not require installation, employees can make decisions about which tools make them more productive», - he emphasized. «We finally developed a model for enterprise deployment that a startup can execute».
Sachs added that Yammer employees also tried to solve «a lot of Dilbert problems», - which he defined as «Most company employees don’t know very basic things like: 'Who are my colleagues? What are they working on? How can I contribute?'»
In addition to his financial and technological achievements, Sachs is also a co-host of the «All In» podcast
