    At the peak of his career in 2022, Sam Bankman-Fried was estimated to be worth around $26 billion. Most of his wealth came from his ownership stakes in the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the trading firm Alameda Research. At that time, he was considered one of the youngest billionaires in the world and a major figure in the crypto industry.

    His net worth dropped dramatically after the collapse of FTX in late 2022, when the company filed for bankruptcy amid allegations of financial misconduct and misuse of customer funds. The collapse became one of the biggest scandals in cryptocurrency history.
