In the early 2000s, David Choe was paid in Facebook stock rather than cash for decorating the walls of Facebook’s Silicon Valley headquarters.

However, David Choe’s equity was valued at around $200 million at the time of Facebook’s IPO. Given how much Facebook’s stock has risen in value since the IPO, his holdings could have been worth $300-500 million at various points.
