Bryan Johnson set out to make $7 million by 30 using a spreadsheet model. He sold his company at 34 for roughly $300 million, far exceeding the target that was supposed to fund his entire life.
You said, I wanted to make a certain amount of money by age 30. What was your number? What was your target?
On the lower end, it was $7 million. I had built out my spreadsheet model and assumed a certain rate of interest and basically said, if I make a certain amount of money, this is an annuity that will be good enough for my entire life. Assuming I don't need capital to do anything. Just if it's time, then if I do something in the world. I had mapped out something like 150, 300 million as a basis that would get me started on that path.
You sold when you were 34, right?
Yes.
What were you able to walk away with? Were you able to hit the north end of your target? Yeah, I hit 300.
Million.
