Born on October 2, 1989 in Mount Kisco, New York, Peltz is a former professional ice hockey player, Yale graduate and healthcare entrepreneur – according to his LinkedIn, anyway. The 34-year-old was drafted by NHL ice hockey team Ottawa Senators in 2009 and played from August 2012 to April 2013. Before that, he played varsity hockey in high school where he was the team’s captain, per Briefly.

After graduating from Yale University in 2015 with a degree in political science, he created a start-up called Mymo a year later, which is an automated scheduling platform for patients and doctors. Peltz had been struggling with a chronic illness for years and wrote on his LinkedIn that he “founded Mymo after multiple extended hospital stays, which showed numerous fractures in the healthcare delivery continuum”.

He comes from a really wealthy family

His dad is billionaire Nelson Peltz, CEO of the US-based company Wendy and holder of an estimated US$1.8 billion fortune, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Peltz’s mum is Nelson’s third wife, former model Claudia Heffner, and they’ve been married since 1985. They have eight children and Nelson also has two kids from his first two marriages – meaning Bradley has two half siblings.

The patriarch joined the family wholesale food distribution business as a delivery truck driver for some US$100 dollars a week. Investopedia also reports that Nelson eventually turned the US$2.5 million private business to a public company with an annual revenue of US$150 million – in just a little over a decade. Later, he invested in different businesses, became an activist investor and founded investment firm Trian Fund Management – that’s now worth US$8.5 billion, according to Forbes.

He has seven siblings
