Evan Spiegel

Evan Thomas Spiegel is a French-American businessman who is the co-founder and CEO of the American social media company Snap Inc., which he created with Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown while they were students at Stanford University. Spiegel was named the youngest billionaire in the world in 2015.

Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap, is one of only three self-made billionaires in the world under the age of 30.

Each day some 203 million people use Snapchat to send disappearing photos and videos; the app faces growing competition from Facebook-owned Instagram.

Spiegel cofounded the company with Bobby Murphy, a Stanford University fraternity brother, in 2011.

Spiegel and Murphy each own about 18% of Snap but have voting shares that give them control over the board.

Spiegel graduated from Stanford with a B.S. in Product Design in 2018, six years after he first dropped out to start Snapchat.

Spiegel has donated nearly $65 million in Snap stock.
He and Murphy have pledged to donate 13 million shares to the Snap Foundation.
