Self Portrait, from Wenner’s Media Offspring

August 9th, 2006 by Larry Smith

Another tiny violin plays as the New York media make much of Jann Wenner’s 19-year-old son Theo’s summer internship in the Rolling Stone photo department. More interesting is what will young Wenner make of the social networking site he co-created, Self Portrait , an artier version of Facebook? Did pop fund it? Will he ante up if it gains traction? Or will Murdoch buy it for $901 million? One thing we know, it’s good, at least virtually, to be Theo: among his friends are Pete Doherty, ranked 11 in site views—10 spots lower than Theo. It’s good to be the prince.
