About Me

Most of Brad Jacobs' fortune comes from Greenwich-based QXO, Inc., a publicly traded roofing and building materials company operating in the U.S. and Canada. Jacobs acquired QXO through a tender offer in 2025, fourteen years after creating the commercial trucking company XPO Logistics. In 2021, XPO spun off its warehousing business into GXO Logistics, which contracts with retailers to manage inventory and fill orders. In 2022, it spun off its truck brokerage business into RXO. In the 1990s, Jacobs consolidated rural trash hauling, building United Waste and flipping it to Waste Management in 1997 for $1.9 billion. He then built United Rentals into the biggest heavy equipment rental company in the world. Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
