The World's Richest Graffiti Artist





In 2005, David Choe was hired to paint some murals inside the Facebook headquarters. Choe was offered payment in cash, reportedly a few thousand dollars at the time, or stock in Facebook. Choe chose the stock, and with the Facebook shares going public yesterday, Choe's estimated stock shares are now valued at approximately 200 million dollars.

Without a doubt, this would make Choe the riches graffiti artist in the world.
