During the company's early years, cofounder and CEO Tobias Lütke was so worried about finances that he struggled to sleep at night.

Tobias Lütke, the billionaire CEO of e-commerce platform Shopify, experienced high highs and low lows during the company's early days, he said on an August episode of NPR's"How I Built This with Guy Raz."

Lütke now has a net worth of $2.7 billion thanks to his stake in Shopify, according to Forbes.
