Interesting Facts About PayPal Co-Founders

7 years ago

One of the worlds largest online payment companies PayPal had 13 co-founders who created billion dollar company. These all 13 co-founders are billionaires!

History

eBay bought PayPal in July 2002 for $1.5 billion. Generally, in startups, founders are not able to pay a high salary to their employees in the initial period.

Founders give their employees some stack of a company instead of giving them a high salary. That’s why there were 13 co-founders in PayPal and they became a millionaire overnight, however, the company was also a million dollar company at that time.

All these 13 co-founders of PayPal are called PayPal Mafia in the business industry.
