Biography Details

Evan Spiegel was born on June 4, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, into a well-educated family. He attended the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences and later joined Stanford University to study product design. During his time at Stanford, he collaborated with classmates Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown to create Snapchat, initially a disappearing-photo messaging app.

Snapchat quickly grew into a major social media platform, particularly among younger users, thanks to Spiegel’s emphasis on privacy, creativity, and visual communication. Evan became one of the youngest billionaires in the world following the app’s success.

Under his leadership, Snap expanded into augmented reality, developing AR lenses and hardware like Spectacles. He is known for his strong product-driven vision, minimalist leadership style, and focus on innovation. Spiegel married Miranda Kerr in 2017, and they have three children together. He continues to guide Snap Inc. as it evolves into an AR-focused future.
