Who Owns Wayfair
We all know Wayfair as the go-to online retailer for home goods and furnishings, but did you know that the company is actually owned by two brothers? In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the story of how Wayfair came to be and who its current owners are.
Wayfair was founded in 2002 by brothers Nate and Steve Conine. The pair had previously worked together at an online sports retailer called CSN Stores. When they started Wayfair, they had just $10,000 in credit card debt to their name.
The company quickly took off, and by 2010, it was generating $600 million in annual revenue. Today, Wayfair is a publicly-traded company with a market cap of over $15 billion.
So who owns Wayfair? As of 2020, the Conine brothers each own approximately 3% of the company. The largest shareholder is T Rowe Price, which owns 14% of Wayfair’s shares.
