This is Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of FTX, the third-largest crypto exchange in the world at the time of this recording! He's currently worth around $10 billion according to his own estimates. But he's not your usual billionaire.
He appears to be a new breed of entrepreneur who thinks obsessively — and, at times, counterintuitively — about the value of becoming rich. Their civic-mindedness doesn’t lead them into do-gooder careers, but careers where they can maximize their fortunes. And Bankman-Fried has ridden the crypto boom really, really well.
Part of his plan looks familiar to that any entrepreneur: Make a tremendous amount of money by any means necessary.
But part two is quite different: In part two he plans to give it all away by the best means possible.
In this video, we'll talk about how that plan came to be, what shaped him, how we got into crypto and how his worldview is fueling his drive to succeed.
