As the CEO of the world's 8th largest retail company, there is no doubt, Brian’s net worth touches the sky limit. Since he is the one who handles the risk and growth of the company, he is the worthiest to enjoy the company’s profit.

Apart from his enormous earnings and flourishing career, he has a house which adds more asset to his properties. He purchased the Kenwood house worth $1.9 million back in 2016, and as of now, resides there with his wife and children.

Married, Wife

Brian is married to his college sweetheart Martha Cornell. They were together long before 1981 and is still concurrently sailing in their relationship.

Although it is a rare feast to see them together paparazzied by the media, Brian did escort his wife Martha at the Victoria Beckham for Target Launch Event. The couple looked gorgeous at the event that they attended together on 1 April 2017 in Log Angeles, California.

As of now, they share a beautiful family that includes two children, their daughter Megan Cornell, and a son named Jonathan Cornell.

The couple son Jonathon is a fully grown-up who has a beautiful wife named Allison Nase. Jonathan and Allison got married on 21 November 2016 after two and a half years of dating. They shared the wedding vows in Healing Garden at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota.

Bio, Family

Born in 1960 in New York, the USA, Brain was raised by his mother and maternal grandparents. Therefore, information about his father is undisclosed to date. Growing up, he got homeschooled by his mother. Sadly, due to his mother’s heart disease, the family had to go through a situation, and Brain was forced to do odd jobs at an early age.

Later in 1981, he somehow managed to graduate from UCLA Anderson School of Management, the University of California. However, life wasn’t better even after his unsuited jobs and qualified education. He had to go through several rough times to be in the place he is today. He worked as a broad member of the YUM, marketing executive in Safeway Inc. and Polarise Industries.
