Nellie Minkova and Max Levechin’s relationship
The two love birds dated for a long time before actually getting married. How did they meet and started their relationship? The couple have not given any account of the circumstances that lead to their paths crossing and hence their relationship. In 2008, Levchin married his longtime girlfriend, Nellie Minkova.
On a beautiful Saturday, Slide founder Max Levchin made longtime lover Nellie Minkova his bride. The wedding took place at San Francisco’s St. Regis Hotel, and HotOrNot cofounder James Hong served as best man, with fellow PayPal mafioso Peter Thiel serving as another groomsman. Given how many zeros Levchin can count toward his (and now their) wealth, the couple is gracious enough to refuse gifts other than books and wine.
It’s ironic, then, that the bride and groom asked guests not to post any photos from the ceremonies online for “privacy” reasons. Levchin’s Slide promotes the practice of sharing every precious and not-so-precious moment with the world at large, and his company has massive amounts of Facebook user data at its disposal as a result of the company’s Facebook applications’ popularity.
Nellie Minkova and her husband has been married for about almost one and half decade and are still happy together, They have two children.
Levchin bought his first home, a 12-room Edwardian high atop a hill here, for $3.4 million. But Mr. Levchin, who made a fortune at age 27 selling PayPal, the online payment service he helped start in 1998, never moved in. He sold it two years later without having slept there for even one night.
Since then, Mr. Levchin has moved into his second home, a more expensive one found for him by Nellie Minkova, his then girlfriend of eight years who has become his fiancée and now his wife.
Nellie Minkova’s husband
In 1998, he co-founded the company that eventually became PayPal together with Elon Musk and others. Levchin made contributions to PayPal’s anti-fraud efforts and was the co-creator of the Gausebeck-Levchin test, one of the first commercial implementations of a CAPTCHA challenge-response human test.
Levchin is one of a group of roughly twenty founders and former employees of PayPal who have become referred to as the “PayPal Mafia“, due to their success in founding and investing in tech companies after leaving PayPal.
He founded or co-founded the companies Slide.com, HVF, and Affirm. He was an early investor in Yelp and was their largest shareholder in 2012. He left a leadership role at Yelp in 2015. Levchin was a producer for the movie Thank You for Smoking.
In an interview with Emily Chang of Bloomberg, Nellie Minkova’s husband, Levchin discussed his overcoming adversity as a child. He had respiratory problems and doctors doubted his chance of living. With guidance from his grandmother and his parents, he took up the clarinet to expand his lung capacity.
Levchin was listed as one of the contributors to FWD.us, a Silicon Valley-based lobbying group spearheaded by Mark Zuckerberg and Joe Green. The group is intended to concentrate on immigration liberalization for high-skilled immigrants to the United States, improvements to education, and facilitating technological breakthroughs with broad public benefits. Levchin also narrated his personal experience as an immigrant in a video released by the group.
