Ouch, number 2 employee at Pinterest - a $10 billion company that’s about to go public this year.

He probably would have been worth an easy 100-200 million.

Pinterest is a malignant tumor on the face of the Web that exists to trick people who are trying to search for images. Being rich off that would be worse that toiling in obscurity.
