John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods, sold the company to Amazon for $13.7 billion in 2017 and stepped away in 2022. The 73-year-old serial entrepreneur, whose net worth was estimated at over $75 million by Forbes at the time of the sale, launched Love.Life, a health and longevity club in Los Angeles in 2024.
