全球十大年轻富豪盘点
Joe Gebbia 乔•吉比亚 年龄:33 公司:Airbnb 个人净资产估值:30亿美元 Airbnb的首席产品官乔•吉比亚总是西装革履,一派绅士形象。他和另一位Airbnb的创始人布莱恩•切斯基是全球顶尖设计院校罗德岛设计学院的同班同学。在参与成立Airbnb以前,他还开过三家公司。除了热衷创业,他还是一位活跃的发明家,曾设计出形状特别适合人体坐姿的便携式CritBuns坐垫,并取得了专利权。他还合资建过两家专攻平面设计的网站,不过它们现在都已经关张。 吉比亚今年帮助Airbnb进一步开拓了商旅业务,首次涉足古巴与非洲市场。对他个人而言,他一直醉心于上世纪中期的现代建筑,他曾表示,自己的“终极梦想”就是要在加州太平洋帕利萨德市的二战后建筑代表作品——“埃姆斯住宅”里住上一晚。很难说他这个梦想能否成真,毕竟前提是那里能接受住宿预定。 |
Joe Gebbia Age: 33 Company: Airbnb Estimated net worth: $3 billion Joe Gebbia, Airbnb’s bowtie-wearing co-founder and chief product officer, founded three businesses before launching Airbnb with his former Rhode Island School of Design classmate Brian Chesky. An avid inventor, he designed and patented a buttox-shaped portable seat cushion called CritBuns. He also founded two now-defunct graphic design-focused web ventures. The avid mid-century modern architecture fan helped drive Airbnb deeper into the business travel market this year, expanding to new markets in Cuba and Africa. He says his “ultimate dream” is to book at night at the Eames Case Study House No. 8 in Pacific Palisades, Calif. We have a sinking suspicion he could afford to, that is if it were an option. |
