Re:Why WhatsApp Only Needs 50 Engineers for Its 900M Users by benzible on Sunday January 29, 2023 @11:02AM (#34569265)
MySpace was a project within an existing company, eUniverse, later InterMix. Tom and Chris DeWolfe were employees of InterMix, not founders. Intermix was acquired by News Corp. for $580M. Not sure how much equity Tom ended up with but I'm sure his payday was a tiny fraction of what WhatsApp's founders received.
