He also retained a ridiculously large proportion of those early folks, who could tell him he was being dumb. He's basically lost almost all of them in the past 3-5 years (to be fair, they were all billionaires so he did well to retain them for as long as he did), so we'll have to see how the next 5-10 years work out.
