I figure he has to be worth at least 8 figures if that's true. Could he be worth 9 figures?

He doesn’t have time for us.
Jamin in my house? I’d rather slam my dick in the door.
Drink.
Your.
Ovaltine.
I had no idea who you were until I googled. Then I discovered you were a banned doper. Good riddance, loser.
This just proves that LR isn't good for investment or career advice, a few might question the running advice from the board as well.
I joined Airbnb in 2009 as the sixth employee with a deep seated belief that this company had the potential to change the way people experienced the world around them. I'm very proud of the role that I've played in affecting that change along the way, as well as my role in helping to build and grow the Airbnb brand from scratch.

For some insight into how I ended up at Airbnb, I decided to publish an email I sent to the founders of Airbnb from September 2009. Some minor syntax errors have been corrected, but other than that, it is unchanged. Note, this is prior to the term “Collaborative Consumption” or the “Sharing Economy” coming into vogue. Read here:

I think 9 figures is very possible.

Yeah, things around here were better back then.
For whatever reason I was looking through the USADA sanction history and saw that Lukezic got a 2 year ban after this retirement post because he refused to submit a sample. I'm sure the conversation between him and the guy who showed up to test him would have been entertaining.

Yes you should. It has been "joked" about before on here when the topic of "Most successful runner of all time" comes up (or wealthiest pro runner).
I remember this thread when it was originally posted and thinking he was nuts, no way that idea could work. Ooops.
Great thread!
If you have 13:15 talent in the 5000 instead try to get a real job because it will work out.l eventually.
Bump :)

If he didn't sell his stake, at $40B IPO, 9 figures seems feasible.

This is why the E. Africans are dominate. Setting aside whether it is Chris or a troll, American runners always have options. They make serious sacrifices, financially and personally, to make it on the international scene. If they come up short, they fall back on their education and get a great job and make as much, if not more, than they did make or would have made as a runner. The E. Africans, by contrast, basically have the choice between being a successful runner or living in severe poverty. So, the E. Africans stay with running as long as they can, while Americans debate whether to keep beating themselves up or go get a better paying desk job. Thus, the E. African advantage is really their broader disadvantage.
Good luck Chris. Hope you keep in shape and wreak havoc on your local road racing scene. The website looks like it has great potential.
I have mixed feelings on this post.
Lukezic was 25.
I’ve never seen an East African make a breakthrough after that age.
But maybe knowing you go back to farming if you don’t make it by 25 motivates you to be great by age 22.
Tough to tell how successful he is in terms of equity. He lives in a 2B/2B in San Fran, pretty modest adobe, nothing, crazy, and of course, since they haven't gone public, his 9-figures are all paper money and not real yet.

Does Lukezic have the largest net worth of any former pro runner ever?
Never heard of you. Were you famous? What are your PR's?
Good luck in the P2P gig hotel industry
