How This Vandal Made $200 Million by Spray Painting An Office Building - How Money Works #Shorts

This is David Choe, a professional graffiti artist who probably made the smartest decision of his life in 2005

You see, when Facebook was in its early years the walls of the startups office were rather bland… they needed someone to liven it up a bit.

So, they hired professional vandal, David Choe to do a few murals for the office. When asked how he wanted to be paid, Zuck offered him $60,000 or the equivalent in Facebook stock

David, without even having How Money Works to give him this wisdom, decided to go with Facebook stock for his compensation

When Facebook went public 6 years later, David’s $60,000 in restricted stock had ballooned in value to 200 Million, and represented about 4% of the entire company at IPO.

Not a bad commission if you ask me.

But that's NOT A SMART DECISION . THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY LUCK-BASED DECISION.

This is the gambler's fallacy. If facebook failed, then Choe's stocks would be worth nothing. Because it worked out well one time for this one guy doesn't mean it's smart to be paid in stocks.

Always wondered why this dude was the richest comic artist even more then Todd McFarlane, especially after seeing his work, it makes alot more sense now

You can’t predict a decision like this it was a gamble. Fb may have never became anything

John is a graffiti artist, instead of being paid in cash, Banana and Prum Co offered the money as stocks. Now John lives in a van

The street artist who accepted Theranos stock from Elizabeth Holmes wasn’t so lucky

A good example of survivors bias. Choi made $199,940,000 from his decision, so he gets to go on many talk shows and be in the public eye, along with share this story with pride. But there are likely dozens of choes who lost money, and therefore either never got the spotlight or didn't want to share this expirience.

Somehow I find it hard to believe he was THAT smart. Seems like luck to me.

He didn't understand how he was being paid. And this was a smart decision? No. It was a lucky decision. Imagine if he was hired by Enron to do art? You think it's still a smart idea

For every one of these stories, there are a million stories that the 'emoyee' should have just got paid by companies that no longer exist. He won the lottery.
