Travis Kalanick
Ask yourself one question: where would our world be without UBER? We have one person to thank for the creation of the world’s most reliable modern-day taxi service, and that person is Travis Kalanick. Born in 1976 and a Los Angeles native, Kalanick attended UCLA with the intention of earning a degree in Business Economics, but dropped out in the pursuit to find entrepreneurial success. In 2010, he became co-founder and CEO of UBER, one of the world’s most used transportation services. He held his title until he resigned in 2017, when Uber had reportedly engaged in “unethical” business culture.
Ranked in the high 230s on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, Kalanick is worth a whopping $3.1 billion (shout out to you, UBER!) While he is unmarried, he surely enjoys the sweet bachelor life where he resides in San Francisco, California. Click through this gallery for pics of this uber billionaire!
Looking Sharp For Black Tie Affair
Kalanick looked sharp in a suit and bowtie for the Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in May 2019. A rich man like him can certainly afford an expensive suit!
Suave Suite For Vanity Fair Party
Travis rocked a suave black suit and bow tie for the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, in New York in 2019. He definitely catches our attention dressed this well!
A Businessman On The Move
With a multi-billion dollar company comes some legal issues, especially for UBER. Kalanick left federal court in San Francisco in 2018, amidst days of testimony in a trial centered on certain allegations affiliated with UBER’s business ethics.
Travis Kalanick & Anthony Levandowski
Kalanick cheesed for a pic with Anthony Levandowski, co-founder of Otto, for a pic in the lobby of the UBER headquarters in San Francisco. UBER announced that it was acquiring Otto, the self-driving startup, in 2016.
