Amazing. Would kill to see the respective employer(s) of each bidder. That would be fascinating. I still wonder how much developers and/or foreign buyers are in the mix, but I have a feeling that's not the dominating factor here.

I would bet that most aren't employed but own their own business(es).
I don't know, I mean, are there really that many employees who have ~$3m in cash?
I'm thinking of all the people who did/will make that much or more with each large-scale exit. How many 3+ millionaires will the combined exits of Airbnb, Uber, and Pinterest create? (Any of which could be in the next few years.) Easily more than a thousand, I would guess.
