The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company.
This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18.
Hell yeah.
What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle?
Asked this question in Hampton's Slack community since we have people worth $10m - $2b.

A prediction:
- Spotify will drop Rogan
- Then he'll start his own media company, maybe his own platform
- Obviously, it will be huge. He'll become a billionaire.
- Bonus: @elonmusk will be an investor or help in some way.
Not THAT crazy of a prediction. But hey, let's see!
For the benefit of others, an account named @dieworkwear runs a scam where he tries to extort brands into paying him consulting fees.
He’s run the scam on a number of people and likely buys engagement to boost his posts as his like to comment ratio is bizarre.

This isn't extortion. Derek Guy offered professional consulting services to bring Constantino's company's manufacturing practices in line with his stated beliefs about American manufacturing. It's snarky, but a legitimate offer of services, not sarcasm or a scam.
