Theodore Schleifer
Senior Reporter, Money and Influence, Recode
Teddy Schleifer is interested in how the world's wealthiest people — first in politics and now in tech — shape the world in which we all live.
At CNN, Teddy wrote about money in politics, charting the billions of dollars raised and spent in the 2016 presidential election and the personalities, lawsuits and infighting behind that cash.
At Recode, Teddy writes about a new moneyed world: the billionaires of Silicon Valley and the political, philanthropic and business investments they make.
Originally from Dover, Delaware, Teddy graduated from Princeton University and lives in San Francisco.
