    Suroosh Alvi is a Canadian journalist who has a net worth of $50 million. Suroosh Alvi was born in Toronto, Canada, and went on to graduate from McGill University with a degree in Philosophy. In the mid-90s, just after graduating, he co-founded a punk magazine called, VICE. His co-founders were Shane Smith and Gavin McInnes. The magazine's focus expanded over time. The VICE company has since grown to include film, news, music, and publishing arms.

    Both Suroosh and Shane owned 28% of Vice after the 2017, $5.7 billion valuation funding round. So at that point Suroosh Alvi's net worth on paper was $1.5 billion.

    In March 2014, Shane Smiith announced that Vice was potentially considering going public down the road. He also claimed if that happened, Vice would seek a $29 billion valuation. At that level, Suroosh Alvi net worth would have been $8 billion.
