About this person
Salman Amin Khan was born October 11, 1976. The spark was personal: tutoring a relative led him to record lessons and post them online, an experiment that caught fire. He formalized it as Khan Academy, a nonprofit platform that would eventually span mathematics, science, and subjects far beyond. By 2012 he had made Time 100; by April 2026 the YouTube channel held 9.39 million subscribers. He also founded Khan Lab School, a private in-person school in Mountain View, California. The model he built - knowledge free, at scale, on demand - turned him into the face of a learning infrastructure used worldwide.
