Aside from being an acclaimed animator and filmmaker, Travis Knight is also known as the son of Nike’s co-founder Phil Knight. Knight started his career as a rapper in the 90s. After graduating from college, he pursued animation and filmmaking. His studio, Laika, has been well-known for producing critically acclaimed films such as The Boxtrolls, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Knight made his live-action debut in 2018 with Bumblebee, which got highly praised and considered the best movie in the Transformers franchise.

Apart from film and animation, Knight became deeply involved with his father’s business, Nike. The brand is currently the largest maker of athletic shoes in the world. Recently, Knight received the responsibility of a trust that controls 38 million shares of Nike stock. While we don’t know much about Knight’s inheritance, his father’s net worth of $51 billion is a reference point. Much of his father’s net worth comes from investments and income earned primarily through Nike.
