Austin Russell, a billionaire. His mother Shannon Cleye, a former model and actress starred in The Young and The Restless.
Discussing why he dropped out, Russell said: " When you have this fundamental drive to be able to build, to be able to create, it’s very challenging to do that in an academic environment." Russell himself was born into a well-to-do family in Newport Beach. His father, Michael Russell, works in commercial estates, and his mother, Shannon Cleye, a former model and actress starred in The Young and The Restless.
Luminar's lidar sensors are currently used by major car brands such as Volvo, Toyota and Intel's Mobileye. Recently, Luminar was selected for use in Nvidia’s Drive Hyperion Autonomous Vehicle Reference Platform, which aims to produce complete software by 2024.
After Luminar listed on the Nasdaq exchange last December, Russell became the world's youngest self-made billionaire at the age of 25 - a title once awarded to Kylie Jenner but has since been removed.
According to The Wall Street Journal, shares of Luminar were up nearly 28% at launch and gave the company a market value of about $7.8 billion.
Not only that, the Los Angeles mansion also has retina scanners into bedrooms, 20-seat outdoor cinema and car showroom...and has famous neighbors like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Russell also owns another property: a nearly 13,000-square-foot mansion in Winter Park, Florida, located 17 kilometers from Luminar's Orlando headquarters. The Florida mansion has 10 bedrooms and bathrooms, plus an 18-car garage, two kitchens and AstroTurf lawns in the front and back yards.
