David Cheriton is a professor at Stanford University. In his free time, he invests in various technical projects.
The most famous investment David carried out in 1998, when he lent $ 100,000 to two students to start a startup. The beginning company was called Google.
The professor earned a billion dollars, thanks to this investment, but still does not want to buy an expensive car or a mansion.
He lives in a house that he owns for 30 years, and claims that he does not understand why people need to constantly need new acquisitions. Its current net capital is $ 2.8 billion.
