David Filo is the co-founder of Yahoo! with Jerry Yang.

David Filo, at age 6, moved to Moss Bluff, Louisiana, a suburb of Lake Charles, Louisiana. He graduated from Sam Houston High School and then earned a BS in Computer Engineering from Tulane University (through the Dean's Honor Scholarship) and a MS from Stanford University.

Until the company recently decided to switch to PHP (A programming language for creating dynamic websites), his Filo Server Program, written in C, would provide Filo Server Pages that brokered requests from the Yahoo! home page.

According to Forbes, in 2005, Filo was worth an estimated $3 billion, ranking #73 in the wealthiest of Americans.

As a philanthropist, in 2005 he donated $30 million to his alma mater, Tulane University, for use in the now defunct School of Engineering.
