NEWS BRIEF: Mailchimp sold. Atlanta has two new multi-billionaires

ATL billionaires big payday. 

Atlanta’s Mailchimp was sold to Intuit on Monday for $12 Billion. The company’s founders, Ben Chesnut and Dan Kurzius, have no outside partners so will clear a nice $5 billion each. Given Mailchimp’s history of positive contributions to Atlanta, it will be interesting to see the impact these two will have to Atlanta’s philanthropy. forbes.com
