>We have no idea what he really feels about everything going on

"My bank balance is going to look so good once we finally IPO", probably.

But he sold is original shares in 2006. All of them, and for cheap. Any shares he has now are part of his CEO compensation package which is minuscule compared to the investors

Even though he’s a cofounder, his current position is like the one of a non founder ceo in a post-exit company

So only tens or hundreds of millions of dollars? Got it

He won't end up a billionaire, but I'd be shocked if he won't come out this with a multiple of his current net worth. This is, if he's there for a successful IPO, which is growing more doubtful by the day.

He's been CEO for eight years... that's plenty of time.

It's not like he was brought on 18 months ago just to get the IPO done.
