Napster Co-Founder Sean Parker Ties the Knot

Michael Buckner/Getty Images for SXSW(LOS ANGELES) — Napster co-founder and Facebook billionaire Sean Parker is officially hitched.
The 33-year-old Internet guru wed singer-songwriter Alexandra Lenas on Saturday evening “in a romantic, magical setting in the forest behind The Ventana Inn, Big Sur, Calif.,” according to Parker’s rep, Matthew Hiltzik.
The couple’s infant daughter, Winter Victoria Parker, who was born in January, was also at the wedding.
Among the 300 guests in attendance, some famous faces included Sting, Olivia Munn, Emma Watson, Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel and Newark Mayor Cory Booker.
Leading up to the couple’s nuptials, several reports claimed that Parker and Lenas were planning a Game of Thrones-themed wedding. While the wedding took place in a lush, green California forest, worthy of a scene from the hit HBO series, it was a traditional wedding, sans any dragons or sword fights — or themes.
Parker was instrumental in launching the music-sharing service Napster in 1999 when he was just 19 years old. Years later, he took on the record industry in federal court. He is now worth billions since Facebook went public — Forbes estimates Parker has a net worth of $2 billion — because he was an early adviser to the company and served as its first president.
Parker’s role in Facebook’s success was dramatized in the 2010 film, The Social Network, in which he was played by Justin Timberlake.
