In the early 2000s, David Choe was paid in Facebook stock rather than cash for decorating the walls of Facebook’s Silicon Valley headquarters.

It is unknown how many Facebook shares David received, and he currently does not own a significant enough stake to be reported by the company in financial filings.

However, David Choe’s equity was valued at around $200 million at the time of Facebook’s IPO. Given how much Facebook’s stock has risen in value since the IPO, his holdings could have been worth $300-500 million at various points.
