Billionaire
Founder of Palantir Technologies, Founders Fund, PayPal and the first outside investor in Facebook. Before reading his book, Zero to One, I was impressed to hear that he was paying us top-performing students up to $100k to drop out of university — though I already had. In another life, I might've ended up working for him had our socialist California tech peers not hindered our networking. See Matthew Mellon.
