Palantir CEO Alex Karp on the debt he is still paying off at $17 billion:
Alex Karp is worth around $17 billion. He still buys from a small jewelry store outside Philadelphia.
The owner was his family's landlord.
When Karp was a kid in the Philadelphia suburbs, his mother had nowhere to live.
Alex Karp: "my mom was totally f***ed, someone helped her"
Mrs. Schneider gave her and her son a place to stay.
He paid her back long ago. He keeps buying from her store anyway.
Alex Karp: "in general people don't help you, which is totally okay, but the ones that do are special"
Almost nobody helps you when you have nothing. He never stopped repaying the one who did.
