Camp’s wealth derives primarily from his Uber Technologies stock, which has jumped about 33% in the last year. In March 2009, Camp and fellow Wealthiest Angeleno Travis Kalanick launched the ride-sharing company in San Francisco. By April 2019, Camp owned 81.5 million shares. After the IPO the following month, he sold shares worth $210 million and gave others to charities. He currently owns an estimated 67 million shares. Camp, 45, co-founded Expa Labs, an early-stage tech accelerator and investor that has helped 72 companies reach a cumulative value of $8 billion, according to its website. Camp grew up in Alberta and studied software engineering. Prior to Uber, Camp was chief executive of StumbleUpon, a discovery app that showed users content consistent with their interests. He co-founded it while a graduate student at the University of Calgary in 2002 and sold it for $75 million. In 2015, he re-acquired a majority stake, shut it down three years later and moved users to Mix.com, a discovery engine from Expa Labs. Homebuying: In 2019, Camp and longtime partner Eliza Nguyen paid $72.5 million for a Beverly Hills mansion. It set a record as the priciest home in the city, but the next day it was eclipsed when Spelling Manor sold for $120 million. The couple also owns a Beaux Arts-style house in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, a condo in New York City and another house in the Hollywood Hills. Philanthropy: Camp.org is his umbrella organization for charity. One project highlighted on its website is Every.org, a “frictionless” app to help nonprofits raise money.
