Top 6 Entrepreneurs in 2013

No. 5: Evan Spiegel

The 23-year old took a big risk when he dropped Stanford University just a few credits away from graduation. But judging by the overwhelming success of his company, Snapchat, it appears that Spiegel made the right choice. Spiegel made the headlines in 2013 when it was reported that he turned down a purchase offer from Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), amounting to $3 billion. Regardless, it has still been a good year for Snapchat, as 2013 ended with a $50 million investment. The company is now valued at $2 billion but is expected to increase in the months to come, so only time will tell if Siegel made the right choice when he decided not to sell out.
