Peter Thiel’s Graph of the Year

December 30, 2013 

 

Time has its "Person of the Year." Amazon has its books of the year. Pretty Much Amazing has its mixtapes of the year. Buzzfeed has its insane-stories-from-Florida of the year.

Peter Thiel co-founded PayPal and is now a venture capitalist with Mithril and Founders Fund. He also grants fellowships to young people who undertake projects in lieu of going to college.
