About John Milton
At the age of 20, John Milton created red-heart.com, an online dating website that came from nowhere to become one of the most successful of its kind—almost overnight. Within three years, Milton had sold the site for a reported $2.5 million. Milton has gone on to found and sell a number of well-known web based businesses including fashion focused garppy.com, online music retailer bombilate.com, and ogee.com, the luxury food supplier.
Born in 1995, Milton’s humble beginnings are documented in his 2010 autobiography 'Beyond The Hill'. The only child of working-class parents, Milton’s formative years were spent at Bakewell Comprehensive School in Derbyshire, England, before leaving to study Classics at the University of London. Milton dropped out, claiming that he wanted to focus on his fledgling Internet business (red-heart.com), and the rest is history.
As of 2013, Milton has launched a new venture, lux-vista.com, which aims to bring affordable, luxury travel to the masses. The new website has attracted the attention of investors and press alike with Milton’s “Anyone Can Go” marketing campaign, which is offering 12 free tickets on an all expenses paid journey on the Orient Express.
