Still with a wealth of ideas, he created his second company called Open Me, a social greeting and gifting company that sold in 2016 for $6 million dollars. With his third company, Ilya knew that he had something special to offer the world, and Viacom recognized this too. Pluto TV, America's leading free streaming television service eventually sold to the multinational mass media conglomerate for $340 million dollars. Ilya is a true representation of the American dream, but more importantly, a loving father to his two young girls.
