We continue the rubric "". In this article, we will tell you about the favorite books of businessman, investor and co-founder of the PayPal service Peter Thiel.
Many people know that Elon Musk was one of the founders of PayPal. Slightly fewer people know that the second was Max Levchin. And, perhaps, the least number of people have heard of Peter Thiel, who, together with Levchin, created the Confinity company. Confinity subsequently merged with X.com Musk to make PayPal.
After leaving PayPal, Thiel became a less media person, which, however, did not affect his income and successful career. He now owns the $ 700 million hedge fund Clarium Capital and manages the Founders Fund. And that's another 250 million.
Little is known about Thiel's book preferences. He only once mentioned Tim Ferriss's list of favorite fiction books.
- "Black Swan", Nassim Taleb.
- New Atlantis by Francis Bacon.
- The Right Thing by Tom Wolfe.
- The Diamond Age by Neil Stevenson.
- The Sovereign Personality by James Davidson.
