Seth Dillon Biography

Entrepreneur, venture investor, speaker, humorist, just who is Seth Dillon? I would argue that he is all the above and then some. But as most people know him, Seth Dillon is an American entrepreneur, social media influencer, and speaker best known for being the CEO of The Babylon Bee. He is a very vocal proponent of conservative views regarding various social and political issues and has a very massive following on social media. Right, enough with the intros, let’s get straight into the nitty-gritty of what he does, his family, and all you need to know about the renowned CEO.

Educational Background

Seth is a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University.

Seth Dillon and The Babylon Bee

Having been a fan of The Babylon Bee since its inception, venture investor Seth Dillon was intrigued with the idea of being able to acquire the Christian satire site which at that time was gaining lots of traction. Founded by Adam Ford in 2016 and launched in March of the same year, The Babylon Be was considered by many as the Christian (or conservative) version of The Onion.

The site was all about Christian satire news and published satirical articles on various topics such as politics, current affairs, government policies, public figures, and social justice. Now that you know a bit about what The Babylon Bee is all about, let’s talk about Seth. He bought The Babylon Bee in late 2018 from Adam Ford (who still holds a financial stake in the site). Since then, Seth has been running the show at “The Bee” alongside his brother, Dan Dillon.

As things stand, The Babylon Bee is now considered by many as the world’s most trusted, factually accurate news source. He considers himself a faith-driven entrepreneur and from his Christian values, it seems integrity is a big consideration of his in whichever venture he is involved in.

So What Motivates Seth Dillon?

This is a question best answered by looking at Seth’s past, he has been censored and deplatformed several times causing him always to want to be a voice against such vices, and of course, an advocate of free speech in the public square. Due to this expertise, he is usually invited to speak at various events, college campuses, and conferences all across the United States. He has made it his mission to teach his listeners the effectiveness of humor, and the dangers of censorship.

Social Media Presence

Seth and The Babylon Bee as a whole have a massive social media presence. He usually uploads satirical posts on his Instagram page where he has over 179,000 followers and ironically, his profile reads; “Trafficker in misinformation under the guise of satire.” It seems like Seth can’t help but be satirical. On X, Seth has over 740,000 followers, and it’s probably where he is most vocal. 

Family Life

Seth Dillon is married to his beautiful wife, Tara Dillon. The lovely couple have two sons. The whole family is dog lovers and they have two white labrador poodles and a white Shih Tzu dog. The family of four lives in Juno Beach, Florida.

Maybe a little background of their relationship, Seth and Tara met in 2005 when Tara wrecked her car and needed a rental, fortunately, Seth was working at Enterprise and sold her the damage waiver. Later that day, Tara called Seth to ask him out and they got married 5 years later on March 14, 2010.
