| Net Worth: | $10 Million |
Lauren Leto, the co-founder of the viral sensation website Texts from Last Night, has gained significant financial success through her entrepreneurship. With an estimated net worth of $10 million in 2024, Leto's journey to success began when she and her partner, Benjamin Bator, created the website that captured the hilarity of late-night text messages from around the world. Their project quickly gained popularity, ultimately leading to the sale of the site to a media company in 2011. Leto's innovative approach to internet humor and her ability to create engaging content have undeniably contributed to her impressive net worth.
The site became a hit almost instantly, striking a cord with a number of people, and has since grown into a multi-million dollar business. The site also inspired a book, which was published under the same name in January 2010, and a television series is being developed based on the texts. In addition to her work on "Texts from Last Night", she also wrote the book, "Judging a Book by Its Lover", which will be published by Harper Perennial in the fall of 2012. Additionally, she co-founded Bntr, a social media site that recently made headlines when its largest investor, Spark, pulled out of the deal at the 11th hour, and refused to pay a "break-up" fee. Spark has offered no explanation, and their actions have rocked the start-up world, which is largely built on investor trust.
