And both founders are college dropouts (Spiegel from Stanford, Zuckerberg from Harvard).
Which makes sense, especially since Facebook tried to buy Snapchat for $3 billion before releasing its own knockoff versions that promptly fell into irrelevance. Snapchat is often compared to Facebook, and Spiegel to Mark Zuckerberg. (One of them is the magician David Blaine.) He declined to speak to me, which is fitting, because what Snapchat is, what Spiegel understands better than anyone, might be the opposite of an interview with a magazine. The guy behind this new media empire follows only about 50 people on the mobile app he helped create. At the center of Snapchat-the disappearing-photo social network valued at $20 billion, used by 150 million people-sits an exotic-car-driving, engaged-to-a-supermodel 26-year-old genius.
