Wild. I vaguely remember this founder spending an obscene amount of money on some boutique firm to give homepage a small update.

Seems he exited the Google grind about 6 years ago. I guess salaries were between $180-250K during that time frame.

Google grinder for 6 years: $1,080,000-$1,500,000

Entrepreneur: “$920k over four years (with sale)”, but doesn’t include the 2 bombs he had prior to successful exit.

(None of these figures taken into account taxes or benefits)

Seems like he took an L, but in the end at least he didn’t end up in the salt mines. The education of learning as you go is truly underrated though.
