Brad Garlinghouse Spends 10 Years at Ripple

Garlinghouse emerged to prominence following the groundbreaking 2017 bull run. In January 2018, Forbes reported that he became a billionaire with a net worth of $9.5 billion.

He then emerged as the industrys main voice against the SEC after Ripple got sued by the agency in late 2020. The company eventually emerged victorious from the legal battle after spending $150 million in legal fees.

In March, Fox Business estimated that Garlinghouses personal net worth is around $10 billion following the massive surge in the XRP price in the fourth quarter of 2024. If accurate, this would make him one of the richest people in the U.S.

He has also achieved celebrity status, attracting more than 1.2 million followers on the X social media network.

In late 2024, Garlinghouse appeared on an episode of CBSs “60 Minutes” to make his case for clear crypto regulation.
