Sean Parker

David Choe took $50K of Facebook stock to paint their office, made $200M+

Sam tells how artist David Choe, hired by Sean Parker to paint Facebook's early office, chose $50K in stock over $50K cash because he's a gambler. After the IPO that wall art was worth roughly $200-300 million.

“Sean Parker goes, "Well, you want $50 grand in cash or $50 grand in Facebook stock?" He goes, "Well, I'm a gambler. Give me the stock." He takes the stock and it's worth like $300 million a few years after Facebook goes IPO.”
