Well surely they don't have to sell all at once.. they can bleed it probably at a pretty high rate for a long time.. they may never get to $1B, but surely they could make tons of money selling.. so long as they pick a rate sufficient to not tank the coin.

Also we know $11m is not all the money they had.. so these guys have been crushing it otherwise for a while now I believe.. Its pretty incredible how successful they are.

It helps to start out rich and then go to Harvard.

True. But surely this isn’t the only reason for their success. Kudos for their being successful, given their predisposed privilege, as there are many in their shoes who would have otherwise squandered it.
