Let's see, Eduardo invested $30,000 in Facebook? And he's perceived (so he can borrow) to be worth over three billion now. So he can afford to invest $30,000 again about 100,000 times. Maybe he'll hit again. I'm not sure his investment is something to brag about though. He doesn't look good right now. Many folks might avoid his investments because they think he is disrespectful and immoral.

Beyond liking certain person or not (it doesn't matter to me if Ed is really spending all days in bed with asian models sniffing coke from their breasts and drinking champagne - guess that's good for him!), I don't get your point. Its not like he invested $30k last night in FB.

When he was putting money into Facebook, it was unknown and had zero or minimal traction! Its like putting $50k today in JoeShmoeMobile App. Yes, he is worth whatever he's getting out, because this money _made_ Facebook what it is today, whether you like it or not, whether $0.03MM != $3,000MM or not.

edit: I am sure there are people that will avoid doing business with him. But I also think having $3B buys you plenty time of other important or successful or brilliant people that would die to work for you.

You sound angry. Not sure why. Some feel that his tax evasion efforts are unseemly. Not sure why you're focused on his lucky strike.

Hear, hear.

Not sure we were bragging, but feel free to prove me wrong :P But that's a lot of entrepreneurs whose dreams he can help make a reality now!
