He is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge; the same post once held b5b4y Isaac Newton. Despite the fact that his chair has an American accent, he is in fact British. His primary contribution to physics was his theory of black hole thermodynamics; that rather than absorbing absolutely everything, quantum effects mean that black holes actually radiate and expel material into space. This theoretical phenomenon is now called "Hawking radiation."

Popular books:
A Brief History of Time
Universe in a Nutshell ("sequel" to the previous)
I'm not quite sure what the other one I have in mind is called, but it's something along the lines of "Black Holes, Baby Universes and other Essays"
Good starting points.

He's well-off, more from book sales than from anything else, but probably not nearly as rich as that.
