In 2005, Facebook (then a young startup) hired Choe to paint murals in their offices and offered him $60,000 in cash or equity (stock) for his work.
Choe opted for the stock, a move considered risky at the time. When Facebook had its IPO in 2012, the value of its shares soared, making the investment worth an estimated $200 MILLION. Is this luck or is this guy a based degen?
