Niche was acquired by Greenspun Media Group in 2007.[4]

In 2012, Binn founded DuJour Media.[6] The quarterly print publication and digital magazine target wealthy readers by accessing Gilt’s database of subscribers.[7][8]

Since 2008 he has distributed his photographs of parties and social events through the service WireImage.[10]

In March 2016, Binn posted a photo on Instagram featuring Ivana Trump with her newest grandson born to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner,[11] but as a courtesy to the family, he removed the photo soon after.[12]

Binn, as someone who built a business on glossy photos of the rich and famous, he is supporter of the new generation of wealthy millennials, such as designer Andrew Warren, who is part of a young group that understands the impact if social media and the use of imagery and photographs to inspire new followers.[13]
