Christopher Goldsbury Net Worth

In 1994 he sold Pace Foods to Campbell Soup for $1.12 billion. Subsequently, he founded private today’s equity firm Silver Ventures. Among the notable assets of the company include a stake in tomato producer NatureSweet and a stake in artisanal bread maker Ecce Panis, which he sold to Campbell Soup for $65 million in 2009. Goldsbury made a record $35 million donation to the Culinary Institute of America in 2007, all in order to persuade the cooking school to open a campus on the site of the former Pearl Brewery in San Antonio that has been in his Silver Ventures’ possession since 2001. Goldsbury also provided a $20 million scholarship fund, El Sueño, meant to support low-income students at the culinary school. Mush as Goldsbury’s envisioned, the site of the former brewery, Pearl Park, now has a music venue with 1,000 seats, shops, upscale restaurants, a spa and hotel set to open in the summer of 2014.
