Homeless Graffiti artists makes $200million from Facebook

Much respect must go to David Choe from San Jose, who had the foresight to back Facebook back in 2005. Instead of getting paid he decided to take stock in the then fledgling Facebook.

Choe was commissioned to Graffiti walls of the San Jose HQ. (video posted in the Africa Telecoms Video page) he did this with Mark Zuckerberg Facebook co-founder contributing a stick man to the mural. Zuckerberg stating that he had never sprayed anything before.

Choe speaks from the heart on his blog about the unbelievable becoming possible saying: "F*ck, have you had the dream where you ARE this guy?!? And then some kind of happy accident happens , and as you're in the middle of this glorious car crash , you stop to realize , that there is actually no such thing as an accident, and no chance encounters, and that everything has a direct purpose ? am I the only one that has this dream ? You never had that dream? It's actually very very similar to another dream I have where I wake up at noon to my phone ringing, and the ringtone is butterfly wings, I pick it up and it's Howard stern, the view, Ellen, Charlie rose, telemundo and every news outlet in the world and they are all begging to have morning breath phone sex with me. I rub one out quick to a cacophony of moans and then I get up and see my picture on the cover of the new york times and I find out that I'm the most highest paid decorator alive......."

This all in all is an incredible story about how great decision can be made without you even knowing and the "luck" (and the term is used loosely) of being in the right place at the right time can change your life. Choe will certainly be a Facebook fan for life and he has surely "liked" his graffiti images on Facebook for more than one reason.
