Billionaire and First eBay Employee, Jeff Skoll

[Rickson9]

Soon after graduating, he met Pierre Omidyar, who had decided that the emerging World Wide Web needed an auction house. “My initial reaction, with my Stanford diploma in hand, was: ‘Pierre, that's a really dumb idea. That'll never work,'” he admits.

But within months, he and Mr. Omidyar decided to leave their jobs and turn the “dumb idea” into a business. Two years after that, eBay went public.

“I was living in a house with five guys, eating their leftovers when they weren't watching. ... I went from that to having $1-billion-plus on paper.”
