Joel Simkhai is a single, gay man living in Los Angeles, and he's the king of Grindr. Well, technically, he's the CEO and founder of the dating app for gay and bisexual men. In 2009, he launched Grindr out of a "selfish desire" to meet more gay men.

More recently, he sold a majority stake of Grindr to a Chinese gaming company. Simkhai, still a very regular user of his own app, took us around LA last summer. He showed us what it's like to be the king of Grindr.
