In May 2007, Rosenstein left Google to become an engineering lead at Facebook, working closely with Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. He was technical lead in charge of Facebook's Pages, the Facebook Like button, and Facebook Beacon. He was compensated with 4,863,335 Class B shares (worth $730 million at $150/share), which he deposited into a trust.
In October 2008, Rosenstein left Facebook to co-found the collaborative software company Asana along with Moskovitz.
He had earned 3-quarters of a billion dollars before he had turned 25.

Well, they weren’t worth $150/share in 2007, so the headline is very misleading.

That stock wasn’t worth shite in 2008. Their IPO was in 2012 at $38 per share.

If i had that much money... you'd never see my fat arse again... and I damn sure wouldn't be working and founding new companies.

I always like reading about the invention of seemingly simple or mundane, everyday things in our lives. My favorite may be the story of the guy who invented Post-It Notes for 3M. It was initially for his wife to easily mark pages in her books and Bible.

Weirdest part to me.
Nearly a billionaire and he lives in a nerd dorm.

Good for him. What does a nerd do with that much money? I guess more nerd things. He should’ve stopped after cashing out and leaving Facebook. Asana sucks and it’s his fault.

Something tells me he is quite ladies man at the moment

Given how much money they’ve made by using these features to get a third of the planet addicted to their platform, I’d say Facebook got a pretty good bargain out of that deal.

The like button, and all the various social media iterations, is seriously the genesis of social media toxicity. frick this guy.
