Although Whitman is eBay's current CEO, she is not the founder. That honour goes to Pierre Omidayar, a Tufts University graduate and emerging philanthropist. Omidyar founded the "AuctionWeb" the original name for eBay in 1995 and forever changed the way people trade with one another. Today eBay lists about 7 million items worldwide each day.
