About Me

The colorful founder of GoDaddy, Bob Parsons, sold off his remaining stake in the web hosting firm and stepped down from the board in 2018. Parsons grew up "poor as a church mouse" in inner-city Baltimore and struggled in school, flunking the fifth grade. He sold software firm Parsons Technology to Intuit for $64 million in 1994; three years later he launched Jomax Technologies, later renamed GoDaddy. In 2014, Parsons founded PXG, which makes high-performance golf equipment and apparel. He also owns commercial real estate, motorcycle dealerships, a production company and the Scottsdale National Golf Club in Arizona. Parsons and his wife have given away some $350 million to charities since 2012.
