founders airbnb Joe Gebbia Brian Chesky
A 70% in Airbnb shares is lifting the fortunes of its co-founders: Brian Chesky, Nathan Blecharczyk, and Joe Gebbia.
  • Airbnb shares have surge 70% this year, boosting the fortunes of its cofounders.
  • In particular, CEO Brian Chesky's net worth soared nearly 80% this year.
  • The boost in the Airbnb founders' wealth contrasts with falling revenues for some Airbnb hosts. 

It hasn't been the best summer for Airbnb hosts.
