Andrey Andreev is a British tech entrepreneur known for building dating and social apps. He got his start in the 1990s by creating and selling startups, including SpyLog, a tool that tracked website visitors. In 2004, he launched Mamba. In 2006, he followed with Badoo. Those projects made him a major figure in online dating and set up the business path that later led to Bumble and other apps.
His biggest U.S. success was Bumble, which he cofounded with Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. The app stood out because female users make the first reach-out. Andreev later grouped key apps under MagicLab, including Badoo, Bumble, Chappy, Lumen, and Hot or Not. In 2019, he sold his majority stake in Bumble and Badoo to Blackstone in a deal that valued the sites at $3 billion. He launched Stereo in 2020.
How Andrey Andreev built his fortune
Andreev's wealth comes from online dating and other tech ventures. Before dating apps, he built and sold startups in the 1990s, including SpyLog. He also founded the digital advertising firm Begun in 2002, sold a majority share in 2003, and sold his remaining stake in 2004. That gave him experience in building internet products, growing audiences, and turning startups into saleable businesses.
The biggest money came from dating platforms. He founded Mamba in 2004 and later sold his stake in 2006. He launched Badoo in 2006, then teamed up with Whitney Wolfe Herd to launch Bumble in 2014.

Forbes net worth and the big money moment
Forbes estimated Andreev's net worth at $2.3 billion in 2019, the year he sold his majority stake in Bumble and Badoo to Blackstone. That deal valued the sites at $3 billion and marked the clearest money milestone in his career. Forbes places him in the technology industry and describes him as self-made. His business record is centered on founding and scaling online platforms rather than inheriting a family company.
The Forbes estimate later moved down and then back up. Forbes put him at $1.8 billion in 2020, after the Blackstone transaction and as he launched Stereo. As of October 20, 2026, Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker estimated his net worth at $2.6 billion. That arc tracks a career built around internet products, especially dating apps, with value tied to ownership stakes and major transactions.
