Not A Billionaire: After Yahoo Deal, Tumblr Founder David Karp Is Worth Just Under $200 Million

David Karp didn’t finish high school. That didn’t stop him from working his way into the 1 percent. On Monday, when Yahoo YHOO -1.74% announced it would acquire Karp’s Tumblr, rumors swirled across the Web that the 26-year-old entrepreneur had become a billionaire, joining the likes of Facebook FB -2.01% cofounders Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz as the youngest members of the 10-figure fortune club. The Tumblr founder, however, is not a billionaire. But he is still very wealthy. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2013/05/22/after-yahoo-deal-tumblr-founder-david-karp-is-worth-just-under-200-million/
