  1. Just buying an index fund when he inherited it, he would have been a billionaire by this point. (though he may have inherited much less than 600 mil after inheritance/estate taxes were deducted.
    Having a shitty search engine named after you could cause everybody to jump from the 27th floor…

  2. RIP.

    He was worth $590M, but he inherited $600M from his Dad almost 40 years ago.

    From his bio, he doesn’t sound like the stereotypical rich narcissistic asshole, but he clearly wasn’t a financial genius. Probably didn’t claim to be one either.

    1. Depends what you think the purpose of money is. Seems like a narrow view that you should just use it to gather more of the same.

      Seems he spent it on stuff he enjoyed doing. Like to think I’d do the same. And if I ended up still having $590m in the bank then I obviously didn’t spend enough.
