Marc Lore is an American entrepreneur and investor known for building online retail companies and later leading Walmart U.S. eCommerce.

Early in his career, he co-founded The Pit, an internet collectibles marketplace, and sold it in 2001. He later became best known for creating Quidsi and Jet.com, which became the key business deals behind his rise in retail and tech.
Lore made much of his wealth by starting ecommerce companies and selling them to much larger players. He co-founded Quidsi in 2005, and Amazon bought it in 2011 for $545 million. In 2014, he co-founded Jet.com, which Walmart acquired for $3.3 billion in 2016. That deal led to his role running Walmart U.S. eCommerce from 2016 to 2021. He now leads Wonder, the food tech company he founded in 2018.
How Marc Lore built his fortune
Lore’s wealth is tied mainly to the companies he built and sold. After years in finance, he moved into startups and co-founded The Pit in 1999. He later launched Quidsi, the parent of Diapers.com, and sold it to Amazon in 2011 for $545 million. His biggest business win came with Jet.com, the ecommerce company he co-founded in 2014 and sold to Walmart in 2016 for $3.3 billion.
He also has money tied to newer businesses and sports ownership. Lore is founder, chairman, and CEO of the Wonder Group, and Forbes says Wonder was valued by private investors at more than $7 billion in May 2025.
