When it comes to tech tycoons, Sweeney doesn’t really stand out.

Sweeney is unmarried and has never seemed attracted to the glamor of `Silicon Valley.`

Below is the career story of Epic Games CEO:

Tim Sweeney was born in 1970 in Potomac, Maryland.

At the age of 11, Sweeney regularly spent hours on the computer his brother gave him to program video games.

From a young age, Sweeney started playing games to see what games were `hot` and find out why they were popular.

Sweeney majored in mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland.

In 1991, this game was officially released.

Sweeney sold several thousand copies of `ZZT` and soon changed the company name to Epic Games.

Later, Epic Games was moved to Cary, North Carolina.

`Unreal` is a PC (personal computer) game that allows users to play games together on different machines.

In 2006, `Gears of War` was released.

When he succeeded with `Gears of War`, Sweeney was 30 years old.

In September 2017, Epic Games released the game `Fortnite Battle Royale`.

Epic Games receives most of its profits from virtual goods in `Fornite` because it is a free game.

The success of `Fortnite` has helped Sweeney enter the list of billionaires with a total assets of about 7 billion USD.
