They Made Office Art for What May Be the Biggest IPO Ever — No Equity Asked

Mat Dryhurst shares a trivia gem: the most valuable artwork made this century is David Choe's graffiti for the Facebook office, for which he took equity instead of cash — a stake that paid off enormously.
He laments that he and his partner made art for the office of what may be the biggest IPO in history, before there was any equity to ask for. So close to the bag, yet so far.
