GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons.

GoDaddy went public today, nearly 10 months after filing for an IPO in June 2014. 

With a 28% stake, founder Bob Parsons is still the company's largest shareholder. Parsons left his position as GoDaddy's executive chairman in June of 2014. 

Since then, the Scottsdale, Arizona, resident has dedicated more time to doing charity work, growing his motorcycle collection, and scooping up real estate through his investment company, YAM Properties.
