Counterpoint: Rudolph Hass, creator of the original hass avocado, barely made anything from it. I’m not gonna say that the Hass Avocado had more impact than Apple or Google, but it’s definitely more impactful than any $1-10 billion company I can think of.

Isn’t the story that some crazy old seed man gave him a Hass seed and we don’t really know where it came from?

Such a Californian, colloquial tale.

I'd had never seen an avocado in any grocery story growing up, never tasted it until I visited California.

Is this "changing the world"?

Well I suppose it could be, after all myriads of people have never used or even heard of slack.
