The thing about it is that I rather build a $5M startup than having someone else sign my check. Plus I would hate to entertain people for a living.

#12Haha - Hannah Montana made as much as Lindsay Lohan! You know your career is shot when an actor from Disney that lipsyncs to little kids and calls it a concert is on track to surpass your income.
Did you make more than Hannah Montana?
I think he meant your career as a global entertainment icon. And yes, I make less than Hannah Montana, so my career as a global entertainment icon is shot.

Pretty sure she (Montana/Cyrus) can actually sing.

Or your 5M$ check could be signed by the same people! Disney, for instance (which signs, directly or indirectly a large portion of most those celebrities checks), has bought out a couple startups if I remember correctly.

Since Facebook's valuation is now a nice round $15 billion, Zuckerberg's 20% stake is worth $3 billion. Of course, it's not like he will be converting that to cold hard cash anytime soon, but everyone on that list would have to be worth at least $120m to equal that. I'm sure the Olsen Twins are, but the Harry Potter stars definitely aren't. Then again, this was about income, not net worth or capital gains. Pretty sur…

For them to have a $15B valuation, they should have at least $1B in revenues (to justify 15x valuation) as a private company. Based on their financing st…
I never said I personally thought it was worth anywhere near that. Of course the valuation of a private company is completely speculative... and of course the Microsoft investment was just a stunt to produce a really high number.

What is Facebook going to do, start charging users? become the next MySpace? If they have accomplished anything, it is making the net cast off the idea of anonymity. Now you can't even have a drink with your friends without your Mom/Boss/Professors seeing it online. A sad world really.
