- obmelvin 9y agoYes, but they turned it down to work on what they liked. This is just paying you upfront to do that. Granted you don't own it...
- usegolang 9y agoThe difference is at that point Mark had something worth that much money and had already spent several years building it. If he decided in 1 year he was done he could have probably found another buyer at a valuation high enough to retire unless he royally screwed up the company. Turning down $100mm when you have nothing of value yet is very different imo
- mfrykman 9y agoI'm not positive, but I think Spiegel already made FU money as part of a funding round prior to the FB offer. Can anyone confirm?
