Natie Kirsh’s fortune drops by $300 million, trimming his 2025 year-to-date gains to $774 million after a recent two-month surge.
His wealth has now climbed from $9.3 billion to $9.85 billion, adding to the $1.77 billion he gained in 2024.
Earlier this month, Kirsh’s fortune saw a substantial increase of $270 million, rising from $8.41 billion on June 1 to $8.68 billion by June 7.
The primary driver behind this growth is the exceptional performance of Jetro Holdings, a New York-based consumer goods holding company in which Kirsh holds a 75-percent stake.
The recent $100-million boost in Kirsh’s wealth is linked to the outstanding performance of his private investments.
