Business Insider Australia reports more on the development. The mattress startup Koala is currently worth of 150 million. Because of the investment, Steve Smith became the brand ambassador of the startup. After four years, Koala has managed to amass some 200,000 customers and in July was valued at around 150 million. The success makes Smith’s stake now worth an astounding 12.18 million, pushing his net worth up to 31 million, as estimated by the AFR.
