He’s not poor either. At a certain point net worth doesn’t matter. Pretty sure he can afford anything he wants in this world.
But could he buy a $400M yacht and dismantle an historic bridge to move it, just as a F you to everyone. Yeah, I didn't think so \s But on a serious note, yes I agree.
Can he afford this?
* Linus
My name is Linux Torvalds and I pronounce Linus as ‘Linus’
It’s not what you made that make you money, it’s how you monetize it
Coders, not even super coders like Linus make billions. You need to have a business mindset along with being a coder.
He doesn’t care about money, unlike Zuckerbot. I got to meet him and he was a wonderfully passionate individual. You could sense his intimidatingly vast knowledge from a mile away
How was your interaction with him and what specific made you feel that ?
You don't get rich by inventing stuff. You get rich by selling stuff.
or stealing
Look at his GitHub( https://github.com/torvalds ) and you’ll see why. He’s 100% into development/coding. He’s not business minded and I have a feeling he couldn’t care less about money.
He's richer than most, has more than he needs and is enjoying what he's doing. He doesn't need billion $s to be happy. But yes, he has created more value than many multibillionaires.
We need more people like him to have a stronger society
Too autistic to make billions. Many such cases.
