Calvin Ayr net worth
Calvin Ayre Net worth: Calvin Ayre is the founder of the popular online entertainment poker brand Bodog. Calvin Ayr has a net worth of $1.2 billion. His net worth is mostly built up through his success in the online startup space. He has had success with online poker company Bodog and various other ventures.
Bodog started out as a software development company, but Ayre quickly saw the possibility of using the site as an online gaming destination. As online poker grew in popularity, so did Ayre’s fortune. In 2006, he was featured in the “Billionaires” edition of Forbes magazine. Ayre has been involved in a number of legal troubles for allegedly illegally transferring money outside the United States and promoting online gambling. As a result of this activity, he no longer handles the day-to-day operations of Bodog, nor since 2008, choosing instead to focus on his charitable organization, the Calvin Ayre Foundation. The foundation was established in 2005 primarily to channel funds to other charitable organizations rather than serve a specific charitable purpose. Some of the organizations that have received support in the form of money and hours from the Calvin Ayre Foundation include the Fisher-Price House Foundation, the Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation, the Humane Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Animal Avengers, and Sean McCaw Lee Hope Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
