Katzenberg is one of Hollywood’s wealthiest individuals. The film producer previously served as chair of Walt Disney Studios before co-founding DreamWorks Pictures in 1994. In June, Katzenberg’s latest venture, WndrCo Holdings LP, raised $460 million in private equity for its new seed and venture funds. In 2020, Katzenberg’s Quibi shut down just six months after the service launched and more than $1.75 billion was raised. Much of the former entertainment industry executive’s net worth derives from the $3.8 billion sale of DreamWorks Animation to Comcast in 2016, as well as other investments.

Education: He attended New York University for one year, before dropping out to work full-time as an advance man for New York Mayor John Lindsay.

Charitable Giving: Katzenberg and his wife Marilyn donated the multimillion-dollar Katzenberg Center to Boston University’s College of General Studies and the Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg Center for Animation at the University of Southern California.

Politics: Katzenberg was named co-chair of Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
