What Happened To The Other PayPal Founders? (Not Elon Musk)

THE FOUNDERS

Paypal as a company probably needs no introduction to anyone on this channel. With almost 300 million customers, over 20 million active merchant accounts, and billions of transactions conducted every year, Paypal is an industry leader in the facilitation of finance payments. Its market dominance is elaborated even further by its market capitalization of almost $250 Billion. This is the company we all know and use today. But at some point, Paypal was just an idea in the minds of a few young men working from the back of a garage. These men were Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek, Elon Musk, and Max Levchin. Known for their entrepreneurial mindset and anti-establishment attitude, this elite group is now known as the "PayPal Mafia," and they all put in time during the payment platform's early days some 20 years ago. Despite the name, this ‘outfit’ is an entirely legit group of tech entrepreneurs - the firm’s founders. Among these, Elon Musk is already very well documented even on this channel, so in this video, we will focus on the other founders of Paypal, where they are, and what they have done since parting with the company. Be warned, these mafia bosses are running wall street like it's their home turf. But shhh let's keep this video our own secret huh, Mafia informants are like good eggs, they sink right to the bottom.


Without further ado, here's a rundown of the most prominent members of this exclusive group and what they're up to two decades later. You might want to break out your thumb tacks and red string because the connections in this web run deep.
