He started programming at the age of 17. His first big success was a software that allowed advertisers to track when users clicked their affiliate ads so they could be paid. It was revolutionary at the time and earned Fabian a windfall which he used to acquire adult properties. In 2011, Manwin raised over $300 million which they used to acquire adult properties. Today MindGeek owns some of the largest adult websites in the world including Youporn.com, RedTube Brazzers, Pornhub.com and many more. Fabian and Manwin reportedly bought Brazzers.com from its founders for $140 million. MindGeek is legally based in Luxembourg but operates primarily out of Canada. The company has over 1400 employees around the world working for many different properties and subsidiaries. At their peak, Fabian Thylmann's websites received more than 16 billion visits per month and earned over $400 million per year in revenue.
Arrest and Tax Evasion Charges: In December 2012, Fabian was arrested in Belgium and extradited to Germany amid allegations that he avoided paying taxes on the revenues from his adult empire. He denied any wrongdoing and vowed to fight the recent tax case but ultimately was forced to sell his stake in the company back to senior management for $100 million. The charges were dropped when he agreed to pay $5 million worth of back taces and penalties. Despite being arguably the most powerful person in the adult industry, Thylmann lives a very normal life with a wife and two kids. He is now an angel investor who operates out of Belgium and runs a start-up incubator.
