Similarly, it is asked, does Evan Spiegel have Instagram?
Spiegel is no stranger to having his own app's features aped by Facebook. Snapchat's "Stories" feature was widely adopted by Facebook into its main app, Instagram, and WhatsApp, where the feature garnered twice as many users as on Snapchat.
One may also ask, is Evan Spiegel a billionaire?
CEO Evan Spiegel is the youngest billionaire on the Forbes 400. He is one of a dozen billionaires on the list who are under 40, but with the Snapchat parent's co-founder and CTO Bobby Murphy turning 30 this year, Spiegel is the only billionaire on the list of America's wealthiest people who is still in his 20s.
According to an SEC filing, he was granted an RSU of 37,447,817, which vested at the time of the IPO. In other words, that was worth nearly $636.6 million. His salary for the year was $98,078, and he had over $1 million in other benefits, so all in all, Spiegel made $638 million in 2017 alone.
