David Choe is Now Worth $200 Million

Saturday, February 4, 2012

San Jose-based graffiti artist David Choe will be feeling pretty good, he’s now worth $200 million after Facebook went public on Wednesday.

In 2005, Choe who first thought of Facebook as “ridiculous and pointless” was approached by Mark Zuckerberg to paint graffiti on the walls of Facebook’s first office in Palo Alto, California.

Choe was however, paid in shares instead of cash and those shares are now worth $200 million.

According to Choe, “they cut the walls out of all [his] paintings and sent them to all the Facebook offices around the world.”
