    Do you think he just magicked up an investment? He built a company bought by yahoo. How do you think he created the company broadcast up to that point? By himself? Or did he perhaps have employees who did the hard work?

      Building the company isn’t what made him a billionaire. Yahoo grossly overpaying for it is what made him a billionaire.

        TLDR: NastyButtler fails to support their specious argument and Breadsmasher refutes each point reasonably. Argument won by the latter
