Amen! It would seem that Parker thinks he can ingratiate himself with promising companies simply by patting himself on the back. The sad part is, it appears to work

He is the ultimate "ideas guy". I believe his net worth is somewhere near $800 million. His value after Napster was his connections to venture capital companies.

Even in high school, he got in trouble for "hacking", which was nothing more than being a script kiddie (he used pre-built exploits to attack military and other computers).

>I believe his net worth is somewhere near $800 million.

With 7% of facebook, his net worth is quite a bit higher. Given a facebook valuation creeping up on $100B, his net worth is probably in the $4-7B range.

Isn't that really valuable?

In fact, isn't it worth $800 million+ in this case?
