An artist named David Choe received $200 million for painting the office of facebook. Quite strange to believe the fact but its indeed true.Artist David Choe painted the Facebook Incorporation building in 2005 and at that facebook not paid him in cash.
When facebook approached him Choe asked for $60,000 to decorate the entire Facebook building.But Facebook's founding president Sean Parker asked the painter to do the work in exchange for stock as the company was just a start-up.At that time Choe was given by stock and today the same stock is worth $200 million.
However Choe said he has complete belief on facebook and its founder sean. "I believed in Sean. I didn't care about Facebook. I thought that this kid knows something, and I decided to bet my money on him," Choe said.
