Okay, so I wanted to dig into something that’s been on my mind lately: Scott Cutler’s net worth. You know, the guy who’s been all over the finance and tech world? Yeah, that one. I got curious and decided to do some serious digging. Here’s what I found out.
Getting Started
First off, I hit up the usual spots – you know, the big-name financial news sites and some SEC filings. I wanted to get a general idea of what people were saying about Cutler’s wealth. Most places were throwing around a figure of about $50 million. That’s a hefty sum, no doubt, but I wanted to see if I could get closer to the real number.
Diving Deeper
Then, I started looking into his career history. This guy’s been around the block. He was a big shot at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and then made a big move to eBay as Senior Vice President of the Americas. I mean, those are some serious positions. It’s obvious that he pulled in some major dough during those years, especially at NYSE.
But here’s where it gets interesting. After eBay, he became the CEO of StockX. Now, StockX is a private company, so getting exact numbers is tricky. But it’s a massive platform for buying and selling sneakers and streetwear, and it’s been growing like crazy. I figure his stake in the company, plus his CEO salary, must be pretty significant.
Crunching the Numbers
- I found one report saying his eBay stock was worth around $1, but come on, that’s gotta be way off. Another said he owned about 6 units worth $123,436 as of this year, which is likely also way off.
- I also saw something about him owning shares in EBAY INC. They estimated his net worth at around $6.84 million based on those shares, which might be closer to the truth when just considering his share.
- There’s also mention of him being a director at Brookfield Property REIT Inc., but the numbers there seem outdated.
Putting It All Together
So, what’s the bottom line? It’s hard to say for sure without some insider info. But based on his high-profile roles at NYSE, eBay, and now StockX, plus those estimates of his stock holdings, I think that $50 million figure is probably in the ballpark. It could be higher, considering StockX’s success, but it’s tough to know for sure. And, in fact, StockX Co-Founder Greg Schwartz is now the CEO, so Cutler may have taken a step back recently.
Anyway, it was a fun little investigation. It’s always interesting to try and piece together this kind of financial puzzle. What do you guys think? Did I miss anything major?
