Jay S. Walker

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.

Jay and his wife Eileen have two children, Evan and Lindsey, and have made their home in Ridgefield, Connecticut since 1990 [Rindfleisch, Mary.

Walker's personal library occupies 3,600 square feet and features artifacts and models of space exploration, cryptography and James Bond films.
