Billionaire Sean Parker will definitely go down in history as one of the most extraordinary people, as one of the most successful businessmen, as one of the founders of Facebook, as the creator of Napster and Spotify networks, as the creator of a charity foundation and just an eccentric personality. Businessmen are careful to enter into joint transactions with him because of his qualities, but none of his projects have yet failed. One of Sean Parker's mottos is: "The main thing is to be able to be yourself." And in this he seems to have succeeded.
Sean Parker Biography
Sean Parker was born in 1979 in Virginia, where his childhood passed. As soon as Sean began to show interest in the computer, his father taught him the basics of programming. Sean was so carried away that he became a good hacker. He solved the most difficult tasks and hacked the most inaccessible sites.
Further events unfolded unexpectedly: in high school, Sean wins the Virginia Olympics in computer science, and also comes into the view of the FBI due to hacking sites of leading US companies.
The computer genius was arrested, but there was no punishment - Sean was recruited by the CIA for his tasks. By the graduation class, he was developing ambitious projects that not every adult could handle.
This ended Parker's education: he did not go to college, because he already knew everything that he could be taught there - he was actively and purposefully engaged in self-education.
Soon, his successes reached great heights, and incomes rose to the average level possible in America. It was a real success, and Sean realized that he had found his calling.
Parker's Career Secret
Those who happened to collaborate with Sean were constantly amazed at his courage and eccentricity. They noted that sometimes he acts on the verge of recklessness, but still wins, because he intuitively feels which project will bring success and which will be a failure.
Not only that - he himself creates trends and participates in the development of projects that contribute to the development of modern Internet entrepreneurship. A keen mind, insight and the ability to take ideas literally from the air help him stay afloat in any situation.
Many people remember the scandal with the Napster network, where it was possible to exchange audio files for free, violating copyright. Parker created it when he was 19 years old! There were many accusations against him, but he did not think to stop - he came up with other know-how.
In order not to break the law, he participated in the creation of the Spotify service, which became an analogue of Napster. A little creativity, a little work plus thirty million dollars - and a new project is ready, which brings income to its creators. And Parker, of course, is on the board of directors.
Perhaps that is why he came to a real success - the presidency on Facebook. At that time, he was already on the list of the richest businessmen and owned more than two billion dollars. And, of course, he was a celebrity.
The story of Sean Parker inspired director David Fincher to create the film "Social Network" (2010) - it tells about Sean and his colleagues on Facebook. Parker was played by Justin Timberlake.
