Wales has had a turbulent private life.  Prior to starting Wikipedia, Wales was a minority partner in Bomis, which provided adult photographs for a male audience.  As Wikipedia's fame grew, Wales traveled without his family around the world to promote it.  He created controversy when he sought travel reimbursement from the Wikimedia Foundation for a trip to a Russian massage parlor.  Wales then established Wikia, a new for-profit venture with Angela Beesley.  When the Foundation grew to the point that it could afford a paid staff, Wales ensured that a number of women were hired for management roles, including all three Executive Directors, Sue Gardner, Lila Tretikov and Katherine Maher.  Wales also became romatically involved with a number of women, both before and after his divorces.  Wales has been married three times. At the age of twenty, he married Pamela Green,<ref name=Chozick-2013-06-30>{{cite news|last=Chozick|first=Amy|title=Jimmy Wales Is Not an Internet Billionaire|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/30/magazine/jimmy-wales-is-not-an-internet-billionaire.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=June 30, 2013}}</ref> a co-worker at a grocery store in Alabama.
