Markus Frind Net Worth

The site was hacked in 2011 and Frind has threatened legal action against those responsible. In 2013 Frind made changes to the site, which focus more on meaningful relationships rather than hook-ups. Male users were no longer allowed to attach images to messages, and age differences were restricted. Fried previously worked at an online shopping mall and then bounced around at failing start-ups. He was unemployed for most of 2002. He didn’t start POF to meet women, but to have something stable. He is hypersensitive to light and has trouble staring at a computer screen for long periods of time. In July 2015, Markus Frind sold PlentyOfFish to IAC for $575 million in cash. He never raised a round of financing and has no partners.
