year. Gawker had revenue of $48.7 million in 2015. Most of its assets were sold to Univision for $135 million following the Bollea v. Gawker lawsuit loss and ensuing 2016 Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Personal life Denton was featured in the Sunday Times Rich List 2007 in position #502, with an estimated wealth of £140m (approximately $205m) based on the sale of his previous companies and the then-current value of Gawker Media. On 31 May 2014, Denton married actor Derrence Washington. He lives in New York City.

Denton publicly blamed Thiel several times for having planned to take down Gawker.com.
