The Huffington Post was launched on May 9th, 2005 by Arianna Huffington. The author and international media mogul started her journey in Athens Greece, where she was born and raised. At a young age she decided to relocate in order to study economics at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. During her time at the University she became President of its famed debate organization, the Cambridge Union. She eventually earned her master’s degree in economics and set up shop in London to pursue writing. Huffington also published her first book in 1974, called The Female Woman.
