Focusing all the attention on the three billionaires of Paypal is an odd one, especially when you consider that the "early employees" bunch is closer to two dozen.[1]
This makes me think Forbes doesn't understand how an ecosystem works.
While they think the three billionaires are "at the top" of everything, there are more creators & technologists, marketers & promoters, lawyers & advisors, and a dozen more roles that the Paypal mafia fill for each other and others. And that's not even considering the network effect of so many people with long/old working histories together.
