She is also the co-founder of the company and has been active with the company since 2006; all of her efforts have helped put her net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Anne Wojcicki? As of early-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $1 billion, mostly earned through a successful career in business. Prior to founding her company, she mainly served as a part of the health care, investment, and research sector. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Anne grew up in the campus of Stanford University, as her father worked as a physics professor emeritus in the school. She learned how to figure skate at a young age, and later decided to play ice hockey. She attended Gunn High School and during her time there worked as a part of the school’s newspaper, mainly covering sports stories which actually lead to a scholarship at Yale University. She went on to study biology at Yale, and also played on the varsity women’s ice hockey team, but was also still a competitive ice skater during this time. She subsequently did molecular biology research at the University of California, San Diego, and the National Institutes of Health, completing her studies in 1996.
Wojcicki went on to work as a part of the investment fund Passport Capital, in which she served as a health care consultant. She also worked at Investor AB, in which she was a health care investment analyst, working for four years, and focusing on biotechnology companies. Her net worth started to increase thanks to her work.
She decided to quit in 2000, after becoming disillusioned by the attitude of Wall Street towards the health care sector. She initially wanted to enroll in medical school, but later decided to focus on research. In 2006 she founded the personal genomics and biotechnology company called 23andMe, alongside Linda Avey. The company is named after the 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human sell, and provides genetic testing. They released a personal genome test kit which was featured by Time magazine in 2008, and became the first company to offer autosomal DNA testing for ancestry. As the company found a lot of success, her net worth also increased significantly. Wojcicki is also a member of the Xconomy editorial team, the Xconomists; she was named The Most Daring CEO by Fast Company in 2013.
