Gabe Newell, co-founder and managing director of Valve, has been added to the billionaire’s club.

According to a Forbes report, Newell’s net worth is around $1.5 billion dollars, and he ranks 854th out of 1,226 global billionaires.


Newell, who owns over 50% of his privately-held firm, doesn’t disclose his finances not that of Valve’s, so in order to estimate his financial worth Forbes consulted with: “video game industry insiders, equity analysts, investment bankers, and technology analysts” to come up with the figure.

“Even the most conservative estimates put Valve’s enterprise value at more than $3 billion, and since Newell owns more than 50% of the company, that means he’s worth at least $1.5 billion,” stated the report.

Well looking at Valve and Steam, I'd be surprised if he wasn't a billionaire. Hell, even Rovio is estimated to be worth around 2-7 billion euros (3-9 billion dollars?) with basically Angry Birds. It's kinda odd that Valve would be below that :3

    So many times I see people play favorites on the internet and it just gets stupid to the point where I laugh and move on
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    Good mom is an awesome starting perk tho, yes indeed.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I know those are just words and I know how useless those are unfortunately. What changed things for me is realizing that I didn't want to suffer anymore. I usually don't like giving advice like this because I don't wanna sound like one of those judgemental people that spout random stuff, and I know I'm sounding like one so least I can say is sorry lol
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @mthrnite, Yeah, agree. Just because you were dealt a bad hand it doesn't mean that you will still be stuck with that. It absolutely is not easy lol but with a lot, a loot of grinding it can be done imho

  • Faust03 @ Faust03:

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:

    I still remember seeing like a dozen cop cars at the doughnut shop with lights on had to be one of the funniest witnesses of life so far

    @K3Nv3, Damn those donuts must've been great

    @_Ruri_, I don't think anybody here likes me anymore due to how I act but the only way I could change would be through either a lobotomy or amnesia
  • Faust03 @ Faust03:
    You don't bother anyone as far as I know

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, Honestly I don't think a lobotomy would solve issues, the best feedback I've ever heard about lobotomized people is "poor guys"
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Anyway I understand why it would sound like you're bothering people but I trust in Faust03's judgement tbh

    Nothing wrong with some time off maybe you'll come back and kind of see where people were coming from about your opinion on you and learn from it to be a better user
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Can't say more about this though because I'm literally just active here in the general chat a good 90% of the times lol
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, I like being online and I will never take a long break from it, as unhealthy as it might sound
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Faust03, why do you say that?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You can't expect the entirety of reddit to like you
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, I wasnt talking about Reddit although I use it
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Same difference it's still a website
