Arianna Huffington’s Huffington Post, a site that has become legendary, was launched in 2005 by Huffington herself, offering a distinctly liberal perspective on life and politics. In 2011, Huffington, who hails from Greece, sold the eponymous blog to AOL for $315 million but continued to serve as Editor in Chief for a time before stepping down.
Now commonly known as HuffPost or HuffPo, the platform generates its revenue from sponsored advertising, including banners and other digital advertisements across its various channels. It stands as the most successful blog in its category, with its value today likely exceeding $1 billion, marking it as a wise acquisition for AOL.
