Synopsis
Profile
Internet entrepreneur. Raised near Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, Hurley received his bachelor's degree in fine art from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. After graduating, he joined eBay's PayPal division, primarily focusing on user interface. It was there that he met Steve Chen and Jawed Karim with whom he founded YouTube, a video sharing website, in 2005.
YouTube quickly became one of the web's fastest-growing sites, and was ranked as the 10th most popular website just a year after its launch. There are reportedly 100 million clips viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded every 24 hours.
Hurley currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and was voted 28th on Business 2.0 magazine's "50 people who matter" list in 2006. That year, he and Chen sold YouTube to Google, Inc. for $1.65 billion in stock.
