(Redirected from Jay Walker)
Jay S. Walker (born 1956) is an American entrepreneur who founded Priceline.com and Walker Digital. According to the 1999 Forbes 400, Mr. Walker's net worth once topped USD$4 billion, which was almost entirely Priceline.com stock. However, much of this was lost during the dot-com crash. He earned a B.S. in Industrial Relations from Cornell University in 1977, where he was a member of the Quill and Dagger society and the Sigma Phi Society.
Jay and his wife Eileen have two children, Evan and Lindsey, and have made their home in Ridgefield, Connecticut since 1990[1]. Walker's personal library occupies 3,600 square feet (330 m2) and features books, atlases, artifacts and models of space exploration, cryptography and James Bond films.[2][3]
