Internet Mad Scientist Has Best Personal Library in the World

The personal library of Walker Digital founder Jay Walker includes an actual Sputnik I satellite, ruby-bound books, and "a framed napkin from 1943 on which Franklin D. Roosevelt outlined his plan to win World War II." Not that we care or are jealous.

Jay S. Walker (born 1956) is an American entrepreneur who founded Priceline.com and Walker Digital. At one point Mr. Walker's net worth topped USD$4 billion, which was almost entirely Priceline.com stock. However, almost all 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. He and his wife Eileen have two children, Evan and Lindsey, and make their home in Connecticut.
