The Indian-American business executive Nikesh Arora, the CEO of cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks, has reached a net worth of $1.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This impressive fortune is attributed to substantial pay awards earned throughout his career, marking him as a notable non-founder billionaire in the tech CEO landscape.
Tokyo-based Global tech investment firm SoftBank reported a record quarterly loss of more than $23 billion, due largely to losses in its Vision Fund segment, the startup investment arm. The results for the three months through June brought a mea culpa from CEO Masayoshi Son, who sprinkled unprecedented levels of funding on startups worldwide over the past half-decade, particularly just as prices crested last year. Vision Fund saw more than $50 billion of gains erased from its peak.
