SpaceX millionaires 4,000 x $1mil , 400 x $100 mil
Every employee who joined before the first succesful launch made (unless they sold early) more than $100 million.
SpaceX lists June 12 at ~$1.75T.
Work backward from the cap table. At $1.75T, clearing $100M takes ~0.0057% of the company.
- 2002–2008, first ~500 in: joined at a ~$50M company. Held to $1.75T = a 17,000x. The core of the club — maybe 150–250 left holding
- September 2008, SpaceX has first successful launch
- 2010–2016: joined at $1B–$10B. Needs a senior grant — directors, principal engineers, early Starlink. ~100–200
- C-suite + board: Shotwell, Johnsen past $1B. A layer of SVPs below them clears $100M on equity, not salary. ~20–40
- Post-2016: joined at $20B–$350B. To hit $100M you'd have needed ~0.4% of the company. Impossible for an employee. This is the millionaire tier — almost none reach $100M
The tally:
~400–500 at $100M+
A few dozen above $500M

Same building. Same mission. Two orders of magnitude apart — set entirely by what year you walked in.
Early isn't a strategy. It's a date stamp.
The most important thing a millennial family can do for their kids is:
1. Move to a neighborhood w/ enough young families
2. Get involved in school, church and sports
3. Let the kids 'off the leash' enough i.e. play outside w/o you having to be there the whole time
4. Invite people over to your house constantly...
This has changed our social life dramatically in just 2 years where we have many friends + our kids do too
***
#1. You must move to an area that is family centric and has young families. Do as much on-the-ground research you can of every neighborhood to figure this out.
Be willing to overspend if needed
#2. Be a part of the school as a parent whether PTA or volunteering . Do the same at church and your kids sports. People who 'lead' or 'coach' meet a lot of people very fast. Bleacher parents have a harder road.
#3. Be willing to let your kids explore the neighborhood, go knock on doors, etc. Sure, schedule some playdates, but make sure they've also met all the similar-aged kids in the neighborhood. Go to the pool in the summer and talk to people
#4. You must invite people. Those who connect people are the most magnetic. People want to be around those folks. Open your home even if it's a little messy. Doesn't need to be fancy. Order pizza for a group, people will love it.
Invite different groups over. One group is from church, another is sports parents, etc. Combine the groups at the holidays so people can meet other new folks.
This is how you build a community for your kids to thrive in.
It took us 8 years from having a kid to figure it out.
BONUS --- have more than 1 kid. Multiple kids expands your circle even more as it opens more doors to meeting new families.
Bron proving again there's value beyond just winning a ring. Making the playoffs doing legend shit that makes fans feel something even if ultimately you lose to a better team. It means something. MJ idiots trivialize the game's value into 1 metric bc theyre insecure and miserable
This game ended in the first 6 minutes of the 2nd half when LeBron tortured Sengun in the pick and roll repeatedly and played him off the court.
28-8-7 for the oldest guy in the league to go up 2-0 in a series the other team opened as a -800 favorite.
Impossible.

Since Ryan Day took over the program, every Ohio State wide receiver who lost their black stripe in the spring has gone on to be a first-round NFL Draft pick if they finished their careers as Buckeyes:
• Garrett Wilson: April 8, 2019
• Marvin Harrison Jr.: April 6, 2021
• Emeka Egbuka: April 13, 2021
• Carnell Tate: March 25, 2023
• Jeremiah Smith: March 21, 2024
So good company for Brock Boyd and Chris Henry Jr. to be in
I’m 55 years old. I own a multimillion dollar plastic resin distribution and resale business which I started in 2003.
I started another business selling rugs and home goods. Why? I want to show my kids what is possible.
I also want to inspire others with my actions and share them on this platform. I’m teaching my kids and others the value of time.
Time should be our #1 priority.
If you work a 9-5, you are strapped to a desk, punching a clock, rushing to be there on time, negotiating for PTO, putting in your vacation time early to get the week you want. Just typing this gives me anxiety. I lived that life for 6 years in my late 20’s and one day, I just left.
Gave my 2 weeks notice and had no idea what I was going to do. The day I walked out that door, my uncommon life started.
For the past 23 years, I do what I want, when I want, for however long I want. I’ve attended every one of my kids games, doctors appointments, and school functions. I take 7 vacations/year and have the freedom to play golf anytime I want. People often asked me if I had a job 😏 when I’d be the only parent at my son’s college baseball game at 2pm on a Wednesday in the middle of Pennsylvania.
Does this mean I don’t work hard? Quite the opposite. Technology has given me the ability to work anywhere.
I’ve made deals on the beach, the golf course, at Disneyworld, at a dentist appointment, everywhere.
Time has become my obsession and I want it to become yours.
By the way, I run my plastic business with 3 employees. Myself, my wife and my son. You don’t need to scale to be successful. I’ve tried it. It sucks to manage drama everyday. We run lean and mean. Same for the new business.
Our time is always the priority. If an idea interferes with my freedom, it doesn’t happen. Just my philosophy, you can disagree and have different priorities, but we only have so much time left on this earth and you really don’t NEED to feel strapped to a 9-5. You just need to take action.
No action means no progress. It’s means nothing changes. You don’t need a 3000 sq. ft. house, 2 car payments, a Rolex, designer clothes, etc.
Scale back and start valuing time.
I’ll be teaching you how to live an uncommon life like me because I believe in Karma.
Give me a follow and I can't wait to help you live your life to the fullest.
