BIOGRAFIA. DAN PRICE.

 Dan Price is an American Internet entrepreneur.[1] He is the CEO of the online credit card processing company Gravity Payments, which he started while a student at Seattle Pacific University.[1][2] He gained recognition after he raised his company’s minimum wage to $70,000, and slashed his wage from $1.1 million to $70,000.[3][4] He extended the same minimum wage to all employees of ChargeItPro, a company Gravity Payments acquired.[5] In March 2020, Price said that the pay raise has worked well for the company in particular, but he hesitated to call it a full success because income inequality in the broader world has continued to grow.[6]

Career

In 2015, Price accepted a $500,000 book deal to be published at Penguin Random House imprint Viking.[3] The book plans to be a first-person account of the establishment of Gravity Payments and will discuss socially conscious business.[3]

Personal life

Price was raised in rural southwestern Idaho and homeschooled until age 12.[2] He has an older brother, Lucas Price, and a younger brother, Alex Price.[7]

He was raised in a conservative Christian family[8] but is no longer religious.[7]

He married Kristie Colón in 2007 but was divorced in 2012.[9]

Controversy

Lawsuit

On April 24, 2015, a lawsuit was filed against Dan Price by his brother, Lucas Price.[10] The lawsuit claimed that Dan Price was overpaying himself and depriving Lucas Price of benefits he deserves as a minority-shareholder.[10] Dan Price admitted that some of the statements he made about Gravity Payments since raising the minimum wage weren’t true.[11][12] In July 2016, King County Superior Court Judge Theresa B. Doyle ruled in favor of Dan Price on all counts.[13]

Abuse

On October 28, 2015, Price’s ex-wife, who now goes by Kristie Colón, gave a TEDX talk at University of Kentucky that described her experience with domestic abuse, without explicitly naming Price.[14] Price denied claims of abuse and said the events described never happened and there is no record of a police report being filed.[15][9] After being threatened with a lawsuit by Price’s representatives[16], University of Kentucky reversed its decision to release the recording of Colón’s talk.[9] In January 2016, Colón published a blog post standing by her accusation of Price.[17]
