Yishan Wong is a former CEO of Reddit who has a net worth of $5 million dollars. Yishan Wong began his professional career working for Paypal as a senior engineering director. From there, he moved to a fledgling company called Facebook. He was responsible for the crowd translation and software innovations that made Facebook such a success, and now has multiple patents to his name. He worked for Facebook first as a software engineer, and then as Director of Engineering from 2005 until early 2012.
