Chahal, 31, faces no jail time. He was sentenced to three years' probation, 52 weeks in a domestic violence training program and 25 hours of community service. The Internet mogul was arrested in August after police responded to a 911 domestic violence call at his San Francisco penthouse apartment.

His girlfriend told arriving officers that she was unable to breathe and that Chahal had told her four times, "I’m going to kill you," San Francisco Officer Anh Nguyen told the San Francisco Business Times in March. “She stated she was in fear for her life.”

Home security footage reportedly showed Chahal beating and kicking his girlfriend 117 times during the 30-minute attack. Prosecutors said Chahal lashed out at his girlfriend upon learning that she had cheated on him with another man during a trip to Las Vegas, according to court documents.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “The deal also means that Chahal -- with no felony conviction -- will be allowed to stay on the board of his $100 million-a-year social advertising technology company, RadiumOne, which has been preparing to go public.”

Chahal, once named one of America's "most eligible bachelors" by ExtraTV, managed to advance his online-advertising network into its final stages for an initial public stock offering despite his arrest. He also secured a new partnership with publisher Condé Nast in April.

4. His customers can boycott him

and his other business partners could drop him. Hurt him in the wallet.

Who's his girlfriend? Tell me she dumped his sorry ass.

5. At least Conde Nast is rethinking its partnership.

He loses nothing in this deal but a small inconvenience. A felony conviction was absolutely warranted for an attack that vicious.
