> Palmer's a smart successful guy
He really is. He's also really young (24). Reading about his life[1] for the first time right now and it's inspiring to me.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Luckey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Luckey
* born in 1992 in Long Beach, CA (really average city with pockets of extreme poverty)
* community college courses when he was 14
* originally majored in Journalism
> From ages 11 to 16, he experimented with a variety of high-voltage electronics projects including coil guns, Tesla coils, and lasers
> To fund these projects, he earned at least US$36,000 by fixing and reselling damaged iPhones,[1] and was also a sailing coach and did boat repair.
* Net Worth: US$700 million (2015)
I think he's entitled to his opinion.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoNever would have guessed he was worth that much. I wouldn't have thought he'd manage to maintain that much ownership of Oculus prior to being bought out.
