What Is Renee Portnoy’s Net Worth?
Renee Portnoy (née Satherwaite) is an American equestrian professional and social media influencer who has a net worth of $4 million. She is best known as the ex-wife of Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy.
Portnoy was born in Abington, Massachusetts, on May 5th, 1983.
Her father, Dennis Satterthwaite, was an officer in the US Armed Forces, while her mother, Sheryl Satterthwaite, was a nurse.
Her parents divorced when she was six years old.
Renee also has a sister, Lauren Satterthwaite.
Portnoy loved animals from a young age, and was particularly enamored of horses. This would later lead her to her chosen profession.
Portnoy went to high school in her hometown of Abington; she later attended Boston University, where she obtained a BS in international relations and business.
Professional Career
Renee joined the animal health services company SmartPak in 2012, where she worked as a senior buyer.
Portnoy was easily able to translate her love of horses and her previous experience into skills applicable to her new job, and she continues to work for the company to this day.
Renee joined SmartPak as a senior buyer, and was responsible for overseeing contracts and making purchase orders for the company.
After two years with the company, she became the Director of Merchandising – a title she still holds today.

In addition, Renee is involved with the Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals, which acts as a foster home for neglected or unwanted animals.
Portnoy frequently visits the shelter personally in order to take care of its wards.
