Great article ... its always astonishing how often you here people say that very few people get rich as an entreprenuer when you hear stories of guys like this who virtually noone has heard of that make hundreds of millions. Cool story for sure. Stories like these are the reasons I always refrain from taking a real job. Arrington's article the other day spoke to me on many levels when he said his parents still did not know what he did. I have experienced this with my parents very often since I dropped out of college to pursue success with my first software startup. After making an exit just 18 months later that put me in an entirely different tax bracket and gave me my first seven figure year i can never see myself doing anything else but working for me, however the most common things I hear when i see my parents are: "When are you going to finish school" and "I have no idea what to tell my friends you do" lol I guess this is just the life of an entreprenuer. for better or for worse, it is what I am and that is because of stories like this one. Great write up!
