Paypal Co-Founder Gives Kids R17m To NOT Go To University
Peter Thiel
Peter Thiel, the PayPal co-founder and one of the first investors in Facebook, gave 24 kids under 20 each $100,000 to drop out of school for two years to start a their own companies. Some even left universities like Harvard and Stanford! Thiel is doing this in order to “challenge the authority of the present and the familiar.” I can kind of respect that.[Source: NPR]
