Early life and education

Joshua Kushner was born on June 12, 1985, in Livingston, New Jersey, where he grew up in a Jewish family to parents Charles and Seryl Kushner. [1] [2] Kushner graduated from Harvard College in 2008, and from Harvard Business School in 2011. [3] [4] [5]

Career

Early career

During his sophomore year, Kushner was founding executive editor of Scene, a new pop culture student-publication. [6] The publication was badly received by critics upon release. [7]

In the spring of his junior year he worked with two graduate students to pool $10,000 in order to found social network Vostu, [8] which aimed to "fill a void left by online communities in which English is the lingua franca", like Facebook. According to Kushner, Latin America was a promising market for a Facebook-alternative and new social networking site because "[it was] a place where Internet use is increasing every year, and technology is booming at a rapid pace". [9] Vostu laid off the majority of its employees in 2013 and significantly scaled back its operations after a copyright lawsuit from a competitor accused them of copying games. [10] [11]

The year after graduation he co-founded a start-up called Unithrive. Unithrive was inspired by the peer-to-peer loan model of Kiva, but aimed to "ease the crisis in paying for college" by matching "alumni lenders to cash-strapped students ... who [could] post photographs and biographical information and request up to $2,000", interest-free for repayment within five years of graduation. [12] After graduating from Harvard, he started his career in the private equity arm at Goldman Sachs, working for a year on distressed debt. [13]

Thrive Capital

He founded Thrive Capital in 2010, a venture capital firm that focuses on media and internet investments. [14] [15] Since its founding, Thrive has raised over $7.3 billion from institutional investors, including Princeton University. [16] Thrive’s capital funds include: Thrive II, which raised $40 million in 2011; Thrive III, which raised $150 million in 2012; Thrive IV, which raised $400 million in September 2014; [16] [17] Thrive V, raising $700 million in 2016; Thrive VI, raising $1 billion in 2018; Thrive VII, raising $2 billion in 2021; and Thrive VIII, raising $3 billion in 2022. [18] [19]

As an investor in Instagram, Kushner was the second largest investor in Instagram's Series B fundraising round. Valued at $500 million, Thrive soon doubled its money after Instagram was sold to Facebook. [8]

For his work with Thrive, Kushner was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30, [20] Inc. magazine's 35 Under 35, [21] Crain's 40 Under 40, [22] and Vanity Fair 's Next Establishment. [23]

In 2021, it was reported by Bloomberg that Goldman Sachs had invested in Kushner's Thrive Capital at a $3.6 billion valuation. [24] Kushner sold a 3.3% stake in Thrive to a group of investors, including Disney's Bob Iger and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' Henry Kravis, valuing Thrive at $5.3 billion. [25]

As of September 2024, Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.8 billion, primarily from his ownership in Thrive. [26]

Oscar

Kushner is a co-founder and vice-chairman of Oscar Health, a health insurance start-up. [27] Founded in 2012, Oscar was valued at $2.7 billion in 2016. [28] Oscar went public in 2021, with Kushner's Thrive Capital owning a stake worth $1.21 billion. [29] [30] Oscar reported an $87 million loss in its first quarter as a publicly traded company. [31]

In 2020, it was revealed by The Atlantic that Jared Kushner had contracted Oscar Health to develop a coronavirus testing website that was later scrapped, even though Trump had said publicly that Google was developing the website. [32]

Cadre

In 2015, Kushner founded a new company called Cadre with his brother Jared and their friend Ryan Williams, with Williams as Cadre's CEO. Cadre is a technology platform designed to help certain types of clients, such as family offices and endowments, invest in real estate. [33] [34]

JK2

Kushner and his brother, Jared, each own 50% of JK2 (also known as Westminster Management), a real estate management company, [35] but Joshua is not involved with the business. [36] [37]

In April 2021, a Judge ruled that JK2 was found to have committed "widespread and numerous" violations of Maryland's consumer protection laws at Baltimore-area properties by collecting debts without the required licenses, charging tenants improper fees, and misrepresenting the condition of rental units. [38] [35] [39] During the COVID-19 pandemic, JK2 filed a significant number of lawsuits against tenants for debt collection and eviction, despite an eviction moratorium being in place. [40]

Kushner's JK2 was also featured in an episode of Netflix's Dirty Money series titled "Slumlord Millionaire." [41] The episode was based on an expose from ProPublica accusing the company of abusing tenants rights, leaving homes in disrepair, humiliating late-paying renters and suing tenants when they try and move out. [42]

Other activities

Kushner became a minority owner of the Memphis Grizzlies after acquiring a 2.5% stake in 2019. [43] [44] In 2024, Kushner and his wife's media company, Bedford Media, announced plans to revive Life magazine in an agreement with Dotdash Meredith, with the first print issue scheduled for early 2025. [45] [46] He also joined the board of directors of A24 Films that year. [47]

Personal life

Kushner started dating model Karlie Kloss in 2012. [48] The couple got engaged in July 2018, a month after Kloss' conversion to Judaism (Kushner's faith). [49] They married on October 18, 2018. [50]

Months prior to the Qatar diplomatic crisis, Kushner Companies had attempted to seek financing from the Qataris for their signature 666 Fifth Avenue property, which was facing a massive debt load in April 2017. [51] Joshua's father, Charles Kushner, had met with Qatari finance minister, Ali Shareef Al Emadi, twice to seek financing for the property. [51] [52] During the same week that his father was meeting with Ali Shareef Al Emadi, Josh also met with Al Emadi. [37] The deal fell through. [53] [54] [55]

According to an investigation by The New York Times , in October 2017, Joshua Kushner met with several senior members of the Saudi government and the Saudi sovereign wealth fund at a conference in Riyadh. The day after he left, his brother Jared, along with several other senior members of the Trump administration, met with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. [56] While the meeting was not illegal, it raised potential conflict of interest concerns. [56] [57]

In October 2020, it was reported that Kloss and Kushner were expecting their first child. [58] Their first child, a son, was born in March 2021. [59] [60] His wife announced her second pregnancy with Kushner during the Met Gala in May 2023. [61] Their second child, also a son, was born in July 2023. [62] [63] In December 2020, the couple purchased a home in Miami, Florida, for US$23.5 million. [64] They also bought a 7,200-square-foot (670 m2) penthouse in the Puck Building in Manhattan for $35 million in 2021, and paid $29.5 million for the Wave House in Malibu, California, in August 2024. [65]

Kushner was included in a 2024 Washington Post article about a WhatsApp group chat from October 2023 through early May 2024 where some United States' business leaders discussed "chang[ing] the narrative" in favor of Israel by conveying “the atrocities committed by Hamas…to all Americans,” following Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel. [66] However, a spokesperson of Kushner stated that, “Josh has not participated in [the group chat].” [67]

His brother, Jared, who is Donald Trump's son-in-law, was a senior advisor to the President during Trump's presidency, and is also an investor in Oscar Health. [68]
