Tim Sweeney, creator of Fortnite
According to Tim, it wasn't good for socializing, but it was good for understanding how the machines worked and he became an expert on them from a young age. He was born in 1970 in Maryland, United States. His father worked in the Department of Defense and was usually not at home. That's why his mother raised him and his two older brothers. During his childhood he showed that his strong point was not to relate to others and he did not have much connection with his classmates at school. "He wasn't with the cool kids and he didn't have good grades either so he wasn't with the nerds either. I didn't have a defined group of friends. Those were weird years of which I don't have good memories.
At the age of 21, he founded the company Epic MegaGames. He sold the copies in his parents' garage while designing Jill in the Jungle, which would make him famous in the gamer community in the United States.
Between cars and trees. For more than two decades the company would become famous for creating dozens of video games, but on July 25, 2017 would mark a before and after with the arrival of Fortnite. Today Epic Games is worth more than 15 billion dollars and Sweeney's fortune exceeds two billion according to the Forbes 2019 podium. Although he has long been a millionaire, this is the first time he has reached these figures, although the destination of his profit remains the same: cars and trees. Sweeney owned several sports cars, including a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. In recent years he sold them and now drives a 2019 Corvette. He also owns almost 20,000 hectares of forest in North Carolina.
