The saying of "being at the right place at the right time" certainly apply to San Jose-based graffiti artist David Choe.
In 2005, Choe was commissioned to paint graffiti murals for Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Back then, he opted to be paid in shares instead of cash.
This week, when the social media giant Facebook went public, his shares are now worth a cool $200 million! Really great for one who first thought Facebook as “ridiculous and pointless”.
