What is David Heinemeier Hansson's Net Worth?

David Heinemeier Hansson is a Danish programmer who has a net worth of $40 million. David Heinemeier Hansson was born October 15, 1979 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1999, Hansson founded and built a Danish online gaming news website and community called Daily Rush, which he ran until 2001. Hansson offered Jason Fried, co-founder of Basecamp, help with PHP coding and Hansson was subsequently hired by Fried to build a web-based project management tool, which ultimately became 37signals' Basecamp software.
