Palmer Luckey, a self-taught engineer and entrepreneur, has seen his net worth triple to $6 billion in just over three years. He made his fortune by selling Oculus, a virtual reality company, to Facebook for $2 billion in 2012, and has since founded Anduril, a defence company that has been valued at $60 billion, and Erebor, a bank that has attracted $7 billion in deposits.
Luckey, a fan of Hawaiian shirts and video games, was a key figure at Facebook before leaving in 2017 and has since made a successful comeback with his new ventures. He dropped out of college to focus on Oculus and has never attended a traditional school before the age of 14, when his mother stopped homeschooling him.
