From gay marriage to the debate over restrictive state laws, LGBT issues are at the forefront of current events. Outside politics, though, the gay community has also made a huge impact on the business world. Several extremely rich businessmen, businesswomen, and entrepreneurs are members of the LGBT community. Some of these billionaires who are gay or lesbians inherited their fortunes, while other LGBT billionaires are self-made successes.
Among other gay billionaires on this list, you’ll find entertainment moguls including David Geffen. The co-founder of DreamWorks Animation is worth an estimated $6.6 billion. He also founded Asylum Records and Geffen Records and has worked with such artists as The Eagles, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and more.
Fashion icons Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are also featured on this list. Dolce & Gabbana launched its first line in 1982 and has gone on to dress such A-list celebrities as Madonna and Whitney Houston. Dolce and Gabbana were partners in life and business for many years, but after being romantically involved for over 20 years, the couple called it quits in 2005. Although they are no longer in a relationship, they remain partners in business to this day.
David Geffen, the co-founder of DreamWorks Animation, is worth an estimated $6.6 billion. He also founded Asylum Records and Geffen Records and has worked with artists including The Eagles, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and more.
Geffen is currently single, but he dated Jeremy Lingvall from 2006-2012.
