Gary Lipovetsky Net Worth $40 million
Gary and his family moved from Ukraine to Canada when he was still a child, initially living in relative poverty, nevertheless, he worked hard during school, and then attended the University of Western Ontario and graduated with a degree in Applied Science. He found his first career opportunity in computer retail sales, later seeing an opportunity in online media sales, and so transitioned his career there. Along with Michael Tulman, Gary founded the website MenuPalace.com in 1999, which is an online restaurant directory. The website would become highly popular and increase his net worth significantly. MenuPalace.com charged merchants for advertising every month, which was a consistent source of revenue.
Lipovetsky and Tulman would then found a new website in 2010 called DealFind which is a combination of MenuPalace’s directory along with the growing trend of group buying in the US. This time DealFind would sell services directly to consumers, and has become very popular, finding hot spots in cities such as restaurants, salons, spas, travel agencies and many more. The business uses social media as a way to see what things are in trend, and has since branched out to various markets. In 2013, DealFind then had a deal with rival Teambuy. resulting in a merger, which made the combined company the largest independent daily deal company in Canada. The sale would increase Lipovetsky’s net worth, but they would leave the company after the merger, and in the following year, the company was acquired by NC Commerce Inc.
Soon Gary would focus on other endeavors, including the collaborative commerce site Bestie, which focuses on connecting users through on-line shopping with social media elements. In 2015, he became the CEO of the company Providr, Inc., which is an internet media company that helps manage social media pages of celebrities and other influencers. They help develop social media pages and so increase income for their clients.
For his personal life, it is known that Lipovetsky married YouTube personality and model Valeria Efranova.

Since their marriage, Valeria has gone under the name Valeria Lipovetsky professionally.
