Kurz nach der Übernahme ging ein Video durch die Medienwelt dass die beiden YouTube-Gründer Chad Hurley und Steve Chen in Feierlaune und mit Dankesreden an die Community zeigt. Klar, wenn ich auf einen Schlag Multimillionär werde hätte ich auch gute Laune ;-) Was aber kaum jemand weiß, es gibt noch ein drittes Gründungsmitglied, und das hat seine Wurzeln sogar in Deutschland (DDR) - Jawed Karim.
Am meisten abgeräumt hat Chad Hurley mit 694.087 Google-Aktien und 41.232 Anteilsscheinen an Google - was beim derzeitigen Kurs 345 Millionen $ sind. Er arbeitet weiterhin als Geschäftsführer von YouTube.
Mitgründer Steve Chen hat für seinen YouTube-Anteil 625.366 Google-Aktien und 68.721 Anteilsscheine an Google bekommen, was einem Wert von 326 Millionen $ entspricht. Er ist jetzt Technik-Chef bei YouTube.
Und der dritte im Bunde, Jawed Karim hat für seinen kleinen Anteil immerhin auch noch 137.443 Google-Aktien und damit 83 Millionen $ bekommen. Er ist heute wohl einer der reichsten Studenten der Welt.
Auch die Investmentfirma Sequoia Capital welche schon IT-Riesen wie Apple, Atari, Cisco, Oracle, Electronic Arts, Yahoo! und PayPal beim Start geholfen hat bekommt einen großen Stück vom YouTube-Kuchen ab: 941.027 Google-Aktien, und damit 442 Millionen $.
Der Hedge Fond Artis Capital Management, zweiter Finanzierer von YouTube, hat für seinen Anteil 176.621 Google-Aktien und damit 83 Millionen $ bekommen.
Die restlichen Millionen sind an die Mitarbeiter, Organisationen, kleinere Geldgeber, Universitäten und das Reinigungspersonal gegangen ;-)
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen
