Tom Steele net worth
Thomas Steyer Net Worth: Thomas Steyer is an American hedge fund manager with a net worth of $1.6 billion. Despite becoming rich thanks to the hedge fund he founded in 1986, Thomas Steyer has now turned entirely to politics and the environment. In late 2012, he sold shares in the Farallon Capital hedge fund, and by February 2013, he had set aside $50 million to support selected Democrats in that year’s election.
He backed $11 million in 2013 to support Terry McLeef’s state election to serve as Virginia’s governor. Politics aside, he has established himself as an avid environmentalist, taking part in several environmental measures on the California ballot over the past few years. Additionally, he has been one of the biggest opponents of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. In 2010, Thomas Steyer and his wife Kat Taylor were among the first to sign the Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge. The couple has since donated tens of millions of dollars to their alma mater, Stanford and Yale, for “advanced energy” research. They even created a foundation in 2004 to set up a community bank called One Pacific Coast Bank, which has spent about $50 million to date.
