History[edit]
NextShark was founded by Benny Luo in 2013 after he sold NewMediaRockstars. The company initially started as a Entrepreneur-focused publication, but pivoted after noticing uptick in Asian-centric content.[9][10] The company is headquartered in Newport Beach, California.[11] They receive over 3 million readers a month making them the largest online publication targeting Asian Americans.[12][13][14][15]
In October 2014, Leung Chai-yan, daughter of former Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun yin, threatened to sue NextShark for libel following unflattering reports about comments she posted on her Facebook page.[16]
