He's one of the richest politicians in Washington, and if you've been on the internet for a while (10+ years), you may recognise why.
With his parents, he founded the online greeting card company, BlueMountainArts.com, then sold it for 780 million dollars.
He then founded ProFlowers.com, and sold it to Liberty Media (part of TCI).

Founded the Jared Polis Foundation – that donates 3500 refurbished computers to underserved schools and non-profits every year.
Supporter of Colorado's "Clean Government Act" – which bans gifts from lobbyists to politicians, limits gifts from non-lobbyists to $53 in value, and requires a 2 year "cooling off" period between leaving office and becoming a lobbyist.

All around cool guy.
