A spokesperson told CNBC that Kalanick has sold all of his remaining Uber stock, estimated to be worth around $2.5 billion. > Three years ago, Kalanick was CEO of Uber and the undisputed master of the ride-hailing company. The company's board of directors was organized to give Kalanick outsized influence. But a series of scandals in early 2017 fatally weakened Kalanick's power. An investor revolt led by the venture capital firm Benchmark led to his ouster in June 2017.
