== [[Pierre Omidyar|Biography]] === [[Pierre Omidyar|Early life]] ===
[[Pierre Omidyar|Omidyar was born in Paris, the son of Iranian parents who migrated to France for higher education. He was given the name of Parviz. His father, Cyrus Omidyar, is a surgeon who worked as a urologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and now practices in Aliso Viejo (age 85), California. Due to his father's work, the family moved to the US when Omidyar was a child.. His mother, who did her doctorate in linguistics at the Sorbonne, is an academic.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|His interest in computers began while he was a ninth-grade student at The Potomac School in McLean, Virginia. He graduated from St. Andrew's Episcopal School, Potomac, Maryland, in 1984. He graduated from Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, Massachusetts, with a bachelor's degree in computer science in 1988. He also had studied at the University of California, Berkeley during his undergraduate years.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|Shortly after, he went to work for Claris, an Apple Computer subsidiary, where he worked on the team that upgraded MacDraw to MacDraw II.<sup>[''citation needed''<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> In 1991, he co-founded Ink Development, a pen-based computing startup that later was rebranded as an e-commerce company and was renamed eShop Inc.. Microsoft acquired eShop on June 11, 1996 for less than $50 million and Omidyar earned $1 million from the deal.]]
=== [[Pierre Omidyar|eBay and later career]] ===
[[Pierre Omidyar|Omidyar with Richard Branson]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|In 1995, at the age of 28, Omidyar began to write the original computer code for an online venue to enable the listing of a direct person-to-person auction for collectible items. He created a simple prototype on his personal web page, and on Labor Day, Monday, September 4, 1995, he launched an online service called Auction Web, which would eventually become the auction site eBay.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|The service was originally one of several items on Omidyar's website eBay.com, which also had a section devoted to the Ebola virus, among other topics. The first item sold on the site was a broken laser pointer. Omidyar was astonished that anyone would pay for the device in its broken state, but the buyer assured him that he was deliberately collecting broken laser pointers. Similar surprises followed. The business exploded as correspondents began to register trade goods of an unimaginable variety.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|Omidyar incorporated the enterprise; the small fee he collected on each sale financed the expansion of the site. The revenue soon outstripped his salary at General Magic and nine months later, Omidyar decided to dedicate his full attention to his new enterprise.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|By 1996, when Omidyar signed a licensing deal to offer airline tickets online, the site had hosted 250,000 auctions. In the first month of 1997, it hosted two million. By the middle of that year, eBay was hosting nearly 800,000 auctions a day.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|In 1997, Omidyar changed the company's name from AuctionWeb to eBay, and began to advertise the service aggressively. The name "eBay" was the second choice that Omidyar wanted for the website. His first choice for the website was already registered to a Canadian mining company, Echo Bay Mines. He originally wanted the "Echo Bay" name because of the recreational area near Lake Mead, Nevada because it "sounded cool." When he found out that echobay.com was taken, he simply dropped the "cho", and ebay.com was born. The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers was fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media. This was revealed in Adam Cohen's 2002 book, and confirmed by eBay.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|Jeffrey Skoll joined the company in 1996. In March 1998, Meg Whitman was brought in as president and CEO, and continued to run the company until January 2008, when she announced her retirement. In September 1998, eBay launched a successful public offering, making both Omidyar and Skoll billionaires. As of July 2008, Omidyar's 178 million eBay shares were worth around $4.45 billion. Omidyar is also an investor of Montage Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach, California. Additionally, Omidyar is also a member of the Berggruen Institute's 21st Century Council.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|In 2010, Omidyar launched an online investigative reporting news service, ''Honolulu Civil Beat'', covering civic affairs in Hawaii. The site has been named Best News Website in Hawaii for three consecutive years. On September 4, 2013, ''Honolulu Civil Beat'' started a partnership with ''The Huffington Post'', launching the weblog's latest regional addition, ''HuffPost Hawaii''.]]
[[Pierre Omidyar|In 2013, prompted by the Edward Snowden leaks, Omidyar announced the creation of First Look Media, a journalism venture launched on February 10, 2014 with ''The Intercept'' and including such journalists as Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Jeremy Scahill, Dan Froomkin, John Temple, and Jay Rosen.]]
