Why would Facebook pay someone to paint murals with stock options? This just seems crazy, especially considering it was after the first Peter Thiel investment. They could have easily paid the guy a few thousand bucks. I can easily understand employees like chefs, security guards, etc. becoming rich, but a short term mural painter?! I'm baffled.
This is what i call 'Being at the right place at the right time' :)
