Tech founders become billionaires in their 20s. Linus Torvalds created Linux—the OS that powers the internet—and is worth ~$50M.
No royalties. No billions. Just a salary from the Linux Foundation.
He could have locked it down. Chased money. Became a billionaire.
Instead, he gave it to the world. Free. Forever.
Linux runs: internet servers, cloud infrastructure, Android, supercomputers.
Torvalds drives a regular car. Writes code. Answers emails.
Legacy > Money.
