Millionaire LendingTree CEO Doug Lebda is killed in horrific ATV accident at his sprawling family farm

LendingTree chief executive Doug Lebda died in a freak ATV accident on his family's farm, the company announced Monday.

The 55-year-old was the founder and chief executive of the online lending marketplace headquartered in Charlotte.

The father-of-three had an estimated net worth of $305 million, according to Benzinga.

His wife, Megan Lebda, 37, announced the loss of her husband in a statement.

'It is impossible to capture the depth of who Doug was and what he meant to all of us. He was an amazing man with a heart so big it seemed to have room for everyone he met,' Megan, the director of PR and communications at LendingTree, said in a statement shared with the Daily Mail.

'Doug was compassionate, generous, and endlessly curious about the world and the people around him. He made friends everywhere he went. His energy was magnetic, his smile contagious, and his presence was a source of comfort and inspiration.

'Doug’s greatest joy was seeing others succeed. His generosity knew no limits, and his kindness touched every single person who crossed his path. He lifted people up, believed in their potential, and celebrated their wins as if they were his own.

'He took care of everyone he loved — family, friends, colleagues, and strangers. He always made sure everyone knew how deeply he cared.

'Our hearts are broken, but we are also deeply grateful for the love and support that has poured in from across the world.'
