A founder who hit $1 million at 23, $10 million at 24, and $100 million at 25 explains why money wasn't the goal. He kept all his stock and stayed focused on the company, its people, and the product instead.
It's very interesting. I was worth about over a million dollars when I was 23, and over $10 million when I was 24, and over $100 million when I was 25. And it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money. I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don't have a short-term payback and things like that. But especially at that point in my life, it was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the company, the people, the products we were making, what we were going to enable people to do with these products. I didn't think about it a great deal. You know, I never sold any stock and just really believed that the company would do very well over the long term.
