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. |
