Tom Anderson was just 32 years old when he co-founded MySpace in August 2003. The social network became a phenomenon among young people at the time, but many people no longer remember the man who created it.
Anderson, now 54 years old, was recently spotted in Southern California, enjoying the sunshine at the Costa Mesa Country Club. In the picture, he looked happy, holding his dog in his arms, wearing a butterfly-patterned shirt and a cap.
“Tom [from MySpace] is doing well,” wrote one user. “Tom lives the dream we all wish for,” admitted another. “Come back, Tom, I miss you,” added a third. “Come on, we need a cool social media CEO,” joked a fourth.
MySpace was mentioned recently when TikTok was temporarily banned in the United States over the weekend, while Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, made several decisions that left users wondering.
As one of the pioneers of social networks, MySpace became the largest social network in the world in just a few years and was sold in 2005 for 580 million dollars to News Corp. and its parent company Intermix.
Anderson left MySpace’s president position and retired in 2009. Since retiring, he has not wanted to create a new tech company. He chose a quieter life, focusing on photography. On his Instagram account, he often shares stunning photos from his travels.
