In 2005, graffiti artist David Choe was hired to paint murals at Facebook’s office. He was offered $60,000 in cash or the same amount in stock. Even though he thought Facebook was “ridiculous,” he chose stock. That decision turned out to be life-changing. When Facebook went public in 2012, his shares were worth nearly $200 million, making it one of the biggest windfalls for an artist in startup history.
