This is worth answering.<p>I made single-digit millions from the Loopt acquisition. Almost all the money I&#x27;ve made has been as an investor. I got lucky in that the first few investments I made in 2009 (very small dollar amounts) were really good, so I was able to raise capital to keep investing at a much larger scale with other peoples&#x27; money. I didn&#x27;t have much liquidity until last year.<p>Takeaway 1: the easiest, lowest-risk way in the world to make a lot of
money is to get fees for investing other peoples&#x27; money.<p>Takeaway 2: if you make money that way I think you should give a lot
of it away.<p>Takeaway 3: FWIW this is a lot of money for me, but it&#x27;s what I most
want to support.<p>As a side note, I was pointing out that living in SV is becoming
possible only if you get a job like that one, and that that&#x27;s really a
problem.
