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.
