Being that Stanford is one of the most selective colleges in the country, Spiegel was hesitant to apply. Although he was a shy, average student at Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, Spiegel soon followed his father’s footsteps in attending Stanford University.įortunately, Danny Ruderman, a college admissions expert, was the reason for Spiegel’s acceptance to Stanford University. Soon after, Spiegel moved into his father’s 3 million dollar home which was decorated by the same interior designer who created the set for the show “Friends.” After his father denied his plea for a new car, Spiegel moved in with his mother who he convinced to buy him a brand new BMW. His parents later divorced when Spiegel was 17. While living with his parents, Spiegel wrote out a budget to convince his parents that he deserved a monthly allowance of $2,000. He grew up in a 2 million dollar house located in a coastal neighborhood know as Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Spiegel was born into a family of successful lawyers on June 4th 1990. Despite Spiegels’ introverted personality, Wagner’s research reveals his life at a young age. Some even went as far as to say the young entrepreneur could exceed the popularity of Apple’s products. J ournalist Kurt Wagner found that Spiegel was often compared to Steve Jobs, founder of Apple. This would not have been possible without his invenion of a unique app that went viral. Evan Spiegel, founder and CEO of Snapchat is currently living this American dream at just 27 years of age.
