I saw this thing on CNN about how the Lion King on Broadway reached a milestone of $850 million. This took them 15 years to reach that amount. I could care less about Broadway shows, but I'm aware of the artistry, sweat and crazy amount of work by hundreds of people that goes into presenting a giant show like the Lion King.

This guy writes some code and gets a billion. It's a warped world we live in.

Considering it doesn't even make money, it is a very warped world we live in.

It wasn't a one man band, and he didn't personally make $1b from it.
400 million for investor
100 million for the two guys each
100 million for staff ( 24 people)

Your numbers are a little off according to the BBC article I read:

www dot bbc.co.uk/news/business-17666032

The winners

The biggest winners of the Facebook deal are, of course, the people directly involved with Instagram.

Founder and chief executive Kevin Systrom has reportedly netted $400m; his co-founder Mike Krieger is about $100m richer - all for just under two years' worth of work.

Reports suggest that $100m will be shared out among the other 11 members of staff, some of whom joined the company just a few weeks ago.

And then there are the investors, a roll call of Silicon Valley greats (including Facebook's first chief technical officer).

Kudos, by the way, to the three venture capital firms that reportedly invested $50m in Instagram, valuing the company at just $500m. In less than a week they've doubled their money.

Did I hear anybody say "technology bubble"?
