Craig Newmark

Whether you're looking for a desk or a no-strings-attached liason, Craigslist is the place to go. The site, founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark as a place to post community events, gets billions of page views a month, despite keeping a simple design that doesn't seem to have changed since Coolio ruled the charts. Even when it became clear that Newmark could make a fortune by including banner ads on the site, he kept it ad-free and charged minimal fees for certain postings. Thanks to sticking to this formula, the company's currently worth millions and is in good position to take over eBay as the leading place to sell your junk.
