That is great to hear. I am glad that the original creators of StackOverflow got their liquidity event and are well off financially I suspect.

That would be Joel Spolsky (Fog Creek Software) and Jeff Atwood (Coding Horror), mostly. Jeff has gone on to make several large philanthropic gifts. Joel probably has too but I don't have info on them.

Joel sold his projects to various investment firms that essentially killed them all.

Joel Spolsky sold Trello to Atlassian in 2017, so he was already rich before the Stack Exchange exit.
