Linus will become Chief Vision Officer, like a creative exec. No direct reports. Being CEO was exhausting and didn't match his "temperament."

He turned down $100m offer with substantial cash buyout. He'll still be doing lots of videos!

The new CEO will be his former boss, Terren Tong. They worked well together in the past.

What do we think he's worth roughly as is?

around 50MM since he owns half the company
Wait who owns the other half?
Yvonne Ho, Linus's wife.
Ah thought maybe he sold out, yeah then they're worth 100m with no one to answer to but themselves
