Whitney Wolfe Herd: Dating app entrepreneur

How Whitney Wolfe Herd, who founded dating apps Bumble and Tinder, was briefly a billionaire.

Whitney Wolfe Herd, the β€œqueen of the swipes”, launched a female-led dating app after a public scandal around her sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against Tinder.

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng follow her story from a popular student with a flair for marketing, to carving her own path in the male-dominated tech world. Owning the β€˜girlboss’ image, she took her company Bumble public aged just 31 with her baby "on her hip", making her the youngest self-made female billionaire. But she wouldn’t stay one for long. Simon and Zing explore her story before deciding if they think she’s good, bad, or just another billionaire.
