San Jose-based graffiti artist David Choe, who painted graffiti murals for Facebook’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is now worth $200 Million after the social networking giant went public on Wednesday.
In 2005, Choe who first thought of Facebook as “ridiculous and pointless” was approached by Mark Zuckerberg to paint graffiti on the walls of Facebook’s first office.
Choe was however, paid in shares instead of cash and those shares are now worth $200 million.
