Artist’s decision on Facebook graffiti makes him $200m

Graffiti artist David Choe became $200m richer this week thanks to a decision he made seven years ago in the offices of Facebook.

In 2005, he decided to take Facebook stock in exchange for murals he painted in the start-up company’s headquarters.

Even though Choe thought the concept of Facebook was ‘ridiculous’, he turned down a cash offer for an undisclosed sum of shares instead.
