Never before has it been more on trend to do good with your dollars. Here's how the ultra rich are investing in the future: Forbes400
ever before has it been more on trend to do good with your dollars. Coined at a Rockefeller Foundation event in 2007, the term “impact investing” is defined as investing in ventures that both make money and have a positive social or environmental impact. It’s a strategy that’s been embraced by many, including billionaires, pop stars and athletes.
Forbes has put together The Impact 50 to highlight some of the most notable impact investors. To compile the list, Forbes reporters researched all the U.S. billionaires as well as members of Forbes’ lists of the highest-paid athletes, highest-earning celebrities and most successful self-made women. To qualify, these impact investors had to have been at it for a year or more, either with deployed capital or personal investments, and be respected in the field.
Taylor, who’s married to billionaire Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer, cofounded early-stage venture capital firm Radicle Impact in 2013. It backs companies engaged in responsible finance, clean energy and healthy food. Last year it led a funding round for microlender LendUp. It’s also backed dairy-free milk firm Ripple Foods and environmental sensor firm Aclima. Taylor founded TomKat ranch on 1,800 acres south of San Francisco; it focuses on sustainable food production.
