Tansu Yegen: Facebook stake transforms graffiti payment into $1.65 billion

Tansu Yegen: Facebook stake transforms graffiti payment into $1.65 billion
Graffiti payment becomes $1.65B stake

In 2005, graffiti artist David Choe made a unique decision that transformed his fortune. Tansu Yegen highlights how Choe, instead of accepting $60,000 for painting the walls of Facebook's headquarters, opted for 0.1% of the company's shares.

This bold choice resulted in a remarkable windfall, as Yegen notes that this stake is now worth $1,650,000,000.
