The most important thing: Holmes still owns half the company.
It's extremely rare for such a young founder to still be in control of the company, and to own 50% after more than a decade. That's not only a huge accomplishment, it's a testament to the strength of Holmes' conviction in the company's mission.
Getting rich all comes down to ownership—every single percentage point counts.
- adventured 12y agoIf you just want to get rich, a few points of a serious company would do. She could have cashed out a long time ago and been very rich. The reason her ownership is important isn't the substantially inflated valuation and digits on her net-worth, it's the control it enables to steer such a young company long-term. Getting rich doesn't come down to counting every single percentage, it comes down to creating a lot of value. If you do that, whether you own 14% or 40%, you're going to be rich.
