American blogger and entrepreneur, J. Michael Arrington, has an estimated net worth of $15 million. One of the most powerful people in Silicon Valley. Arrington is founder and former co-editor of TechCrunch, an influential blog covering the Silicon Valley technology start-up communities and the wider technology field in USA and elsewhere. The site also profiles and reviews Internet entrepreneurs, products and services–a mere mention of a company on its pages can make or break a startup. In 2009 Arrington made headlines when he announced plans to launch the CrunchPad, a high-tech e-reader, but the project flamed out in November amid a conflict with his partners. Arrington earned his net worth through his creation of the web publication, TechCrunch.
