With the surge in Palantir shares and the recent boost in his net worth, Karp has reinforced his standing among the world’s Black billionaires.
The decline in Karp’s fortune comes despite Palantir achieving impressive milestones under his leadership.
The pullback coincides with a recent downgrade of Palantir Technologies (PLTR), the data analytics software firm Karp co-founded.
The recent contract with the U.S. Army builds upon Palantir’s established relationship with the Department of Defense (DoD).
Karp’s position among Black billionaires underscores the success of African-American entrepreneurs within the tech sector.
The recent increase in his fortune is linked to the performance of his 2.63-percent stake in Palantir Technologies.
Ranked as the sixth-richest Black billionaire in the U.S., Karp trails behind Robert F. Smith, David Steward, Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, and Oprah Winfrey.
The surge in Karp’s fortune, equivalent to an average daily gain of $12.5 million since Jan. 16, is linked to the performance of his 2.63-percent stake in Palantir Technologies.
The revaluation of his private investments and a single-digit decline in Palantir’s shares have contributed to a $100-million decrease in his net worth.
According to Forbes, Karp, ranked among the world’s Black billionaires, has witnessed a $300-million increase in his net worth.
