He has become a smart early investor in some of the most notable internet startups such as Foursquare, the mobile social network; Path, a photo sharing application; and Flipboard, a news reading application for the iPad. Foursquare may now be valued at up to $80 million, and one of its investors who stand up to gain most is Ashton Kutcher, an early angel investor in this company. He invested his money with Skype, and earned three times his money when the company was sold to Microsoft for $8.5 billion last month.
He remains discreet with the size of his investments which he has recently been making through a partnership called A-Grade, a partnership between the manager of Madonna, Guy Oseary, and supermarket magnate, Ron Burkle. People in the venture capital world estimated that his investments would range perhaps from $50,000 to $200,000, just like what other early-stage investors would be investing in.
