Who is Brandon Wade?

Brandon Wade is an American businessman and online dating entrepreneur.

Wade's controversial websites, which are based around rich men paying for dates and sex with attractive women, have been widely criticized by the media, with Forbes, The Atlantic, ABC news and MSNBC all reporting on the moral ambiguity of the websites Seeking Arrangement and WhatsYourPrice.com. The websites have been accused of treating their female members like prostitutes, with WhatsYourPrice.com being described as "indistinguishable from prostitution".

Wade, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the MIT Sloan School of Management and former software engineer, launched a string of abortive businesses before finding success in the internet dating business.

His internet businesses and dating websites have been profiled by, among others, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Times of London and the British Sunday Telegraph among others. He has also featured on television shows including Good Morning America, The Today Show and ABC 20/20 in the US and on Channel 4 News in the UK.
