Ben Woldring (born February 6, 1985, in Groningen[1] ) is a Dutch internet entrepreneur and millionaire from Usquert who first rose to fame in the autumn of 1998 when, for a school assignment, he made a website where consumers could compare prices for mobile phone services. As a result, he appeared on television programmes like Kassa and the Jeugdjournaal. In 1999, the website Bellen.com registered its 100,000th visitor; a year later, Woldring started the company Bencom B.V. and hired his mother as an employee.[1] In 2003, he won Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award[1] and on November 14, 2006, he was named the best European Entrepreneur under 25 by Business Week.[2] He is also an ambassador for the Beatrix Kinderkliniek in Groningen and the Stichting voor het Gehandicapte Kind.[1] As of September 2009, he owns 9 price comparison websites, with the hotel comparison site LookingforBooking.com as his most recent project.
Woldring also wrote an autobiography, Ik Ben Internet-ondernemer!, published in 2000, in which he describes his life, explains his work and also gives advice.[3]
