Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, waqala ukufunda ifilosofi eStanford University, lapho asungula khona "Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Stanford", iphephandaba eligxeka ukunemba kwezombangazwe. Kamuva wavakashela isikole somthetho Stanford. Ngemva nje kokuthweswa iziqu ngo-1992, washicilela Inganekwane Yokuhlukahluka (ebhalwe noDavid Sacks), eyayigxeka ukungabekezelelani kwezombusazwe enyuvesi.

Ngesikhathi eseyunivesithi, uThiel wahlangana noRené Girard, imibono yakhe yaba nomthelela omkhulu emibonweni yakhe yakamuva. U-Girard wayekholelwa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuthi ukuncintisana kubambezela inqubekela phambili ngoba kuba isiphetho ngokwakho-abancintisana nabo bavame ukukhohlwa ukuthi kungani beqhudelana futhi babe imilutha yokuncintisana ngokwayo. UThiel wasebenzisa lo mbono empilweni yakhe yomuntu siqu nakwezebhizinisi.

I-Paypal Mafia

Ngemva kokuthweswa iziqu, wafaka isicelo somsebenzi eNkantolo Ephakeme Yase-U.S. Waze wakhuluma ngalokhu namajaji adumile - u-Antonin Scalia no-Anthony Kennedy. Nokho akaqashwanga. Ubambe lesi sikhundla isikhashana. umabhalane wenkantolokodwa ngokushesha wathuthela eNew York ukuze asebenze ummeli wezokuphepha kaSullivan noCromwell. Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa nezinsuku ezintathu, waphuma ehhovisi, esho ukuntula ukubaluleka okudlulele komsebenzi wakhe.

UPeter Andreas Thiel esemncane

Ogwini oluseNtshonalanga, u-Thiel wabona ukukhuphuka kwe-inthanethi kanye nekhompyutha yomuntu siqu, kanye nokuthuthuka emkhakheni we-dot-com. Ngosizo lwezimali lwabangane nomndeni, wakwazi khulisa isigidi samadola dala I-Thiel Capital Management futhi uqale umsebenzi wokuba ngumtshali-zimali. Ekuqaleni, ngalungisa ... ukulahlekelwa kwezinkulungwane eziyi-100. amadola - ngemva kokufaka iphrojekthi yekhalenda ye-Inthanethi engaphumelelanga yomngane wakhe uLuka Nosek. Ngo-1998, uThiela wazibandakanya ngokwezezimali ne-Confinity, inhloso yakhe kwakuwukuba ukucubungula inkokhelo .

Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, uPeter wayeqiniseka ukuthi kwakukhona indawo emakethe yesofthiwe eyayizoxazulula inkinga yokukhokha. Wayefuna ukwakha uhlobo lwesikhwama sedijithali ngethemba lokuthi amakhasimende e-inthanethi angathokozela ukunethezeka nokuphepha kwabathengi ngokubethelwa kwedatha kumadivayisi edijithali. Ngo-1999, i-Confinity yethula isevisi PayPal.

I-PayPal iqale ngemuva kwesithangami sabezindaba esiyimpumelelo. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, abameleli be-Nokia kanye ne-Deutsche Bank bathumele i-Thiel $ 3 million ukuze ikhulise inkampani isebenzisa i-PayPal ngokusebenzisa amadivayisi we-PalmPilot. Ngokuhlangana ngo-2000 nenkampani yezezimali ka-Elon Musk's X.com kanye nomthengisi weselula u-Pixo, i-PayPal yakwazi ukunweba ibhizinisi layo emakethe engenantambo, ivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi badlulisele imali besebenzisa ukubhaliswa kwamahhala kanye ne-imeyili esikhundleni sokushintshisana ngolwazi lwe-akhawunti yasebhange. Kuze kube ngu-2001, wayebandakanyeka ku-PayPal amakhasimende angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-6,5 futhi yandisa izinsizakalo zayo kubathengi namabhizinisi azimele emazweni angamashumi amabili nesithupha.

Le nkampani yaphuma esidlangalaleni ngoFebhuwari 15, 2002, futhi yathengiswa ku-eBay ngo-Okthoba walowo nyaka nge-$ 1,5 billion. Lezi zivumelwano zenze u-Thiel waba usozigidi. Ngokushesha watshala imali yakhe ekuqaliseni okusha, okudume kakhulu okwaba yi-Facebook.

Ngo-2004, iqhawe lethu labamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwenkampani yokuhlaziya idatha - I-Palantir Technologies. Ubuchwepheshe be-Palantir, obuvumela ukuseshwa kwedatha okunembile futhi buvimbele ukubhekwa kwangaphandle, abanentshisekelo I-CRUokuyinto ixhasa inkampaniokuke kwaba yimpikiswano. Akwaziwa ukuthi isoftware kaPalantir ivumele kangakanani izinsiza zokuphepha ukuthi zigadwe ku-inthanethi, ngakho inkampani yahlaselwa, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuvuza kuka-Edward Snowden. Kodwa-ke, uziphikile izinsolo zokuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi okuhlola izakhamizi zaseMelika, egcizelela imibono yama-libetarian kanye nonembeza kaThiyeli. Kwaqinisekiswa ukuthi kwasetshenziswa uhlelo lokuvikela emikhiqizweni yenkampani, okwenza kungenzeki ukuthi izinsiza zizosetshenziswa kabi.

 - UPeter wagcizelela ngo-2013 engxoxweni neForbes. - 

Le nkampani ikhule kancane selokhu yasungulwa futhi ibilinganiselwa ku-$2015 billion ngo-20, kanti u-Thiel usengumnikazi wamasheya omkhulu enkampanini.

Ngaleso sikhathi, wayephumelele futhi engaphumeleli emakethe yezezimali yomhlaba. Wasungula I-Clarium Capital Managementukutshala imali kumathuluzi ezezimali, izimali, izilinganiso zenzalo, izimpahla nezitoko. Ngo-2003, i-Clarium yabika imbuyiselo ku-equity engu-65,6% njengoba u-Thiel ebikezele kahle idola laseMelika elintengantengayo. Ngo-2005, i-Clarium yathumela enye inzuzo engu-57,1%, njengoba nje uThiel ayebikezele—kulokhu ngedola. Nokho, ngo-2006 ukulahlekelwa kwaba ngu-7,8%. Bese? Izimpahla eziphethwe yiClarium, ngemva kokuzuza isivuno sama-40,3% ngo-2007, zikhuphuke zaba ngaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingu-7 zamaRandi ngo-2008, kodwa zehla kakhulu ngenxa yokuwa kwezimakethe zezimali ekuqaleni kuka-2009. ngamadola ayizigidi ezingu-2011 nje kuphela, ngaphezu kwengxenye okwakuyimali kaThiel ngokwakhe.

Ngaphandle kwe-Facebook, u-Thiel ubelokhu ebambe iqhaza ngokwezezimali ekuthuthukisweni kwamanye amawebhusayithi amaningi. Abanye babo sebedume kakhulu, abanye kade bakhohlwa. Uhlu lwakhe lokutshala izimali luhlanganisa: I-LinkedIn, i-Slide, i-Booktrack, i-Friendster, i-Yammer, i-Rapleaf, i-Yelp Inc, i-Geni.com, i-Practice Fusion, i-Vator, i-Metamed, i-Powerset, i-IronPort, i-Asana, i-Votizen, i-Caplinked, i-Big Think, i-Quora, i-Stripe, i-Ripple, Lyft, Airnb nabanye.

Eziningi zalezi ziqalo bekungumsebenzi wozakwabo bangaphambili e-PayPal. Abanye baze babize uPeter Thiel ngokuthi "Don of the PayPal Mafia". Ukuba yinhloko ye-"PayPal mafia", ehlanganisa abadlali abakhulu njengo-Space X's Elon Musk noma umphathi we-LinkedIn uReid Hoffman, kunikeza ithonya elikhulu nokuziphatha eSilicon Valley. UThiel ungomunye wosomabhizinisi abahlonishwa kakhulu nezingelosi zebhizinisi emhlabeni. Izindlela zakhe zokuphatha eziphikisanayo ziyashaqisa abanye, zijabulise abanye, kodwa zingamangaza nakakhulu ... Ukukhetha kukaThiel kwezombangazwe.

UTrump uwukunqoba

UPeter ungomunye wabasekeli abakhulu nabagqama kakhulu bakaDonald Trump eSigodini, okuthi - kule ndawo - kuyicala elingajwayelekile nelizimele. Ngaphambi kokhetho lukamongameli lwango-2016, emhlanganweni weDemocratic National Election Convention, ukhulume ngaphambi nje kukaTrump ngokwakhe, obekumele amukele ukuqokwa kweqembu lakhe okhethweni. UThiel uhambelane nokungabaza kwalowo ozongenela ukhetho ngokuba khona kwamasosha aseMelika eMiddle East waphinde wancoma ikhono lakhe kwezomnotho.

Ngokwazi amaqiniso kaThiel namaMelika, awukholwa ukuthi ukweseka kukaThiel ukuqokwa kukaTrump akunandaba. Izinkampani eziningi anamasheya kuzo zingahlomula esikhundleni sikamongameli omusha, zashanela, phakathi kokunye, ukugomela kokuthi uhlelo lwezepolitiki nezomnotho lwaseMelika lugcinwe ezinhlelweni ezahlukahlukene. Isibonelo, i-SpaceX, iklayenti layo elikhulu okuyi-NASA (futhi isekelwa i-Thiel Founders Fund kusukela ngo-2008), sekunesikhathi eside ilwa ne-Boeing kanye nemboni yezokundiza. Iningi leminye imisebenzi kaThiel, okuhlanganisa nokuqala kwezokunakekelwa kwempilo i-Oscar kanye nenkampani yezemfundo i-AltSchool, nazo zisebenza ezindaweni ezingahlomula kakhulu esimemezelweni sikaMongameli uTrump sokuhoxiswa komthetho.

Usomabhizinisi ugxeka kakhulu uhlelo lwezepolitiki lwaseMelika, ekholelwa ukuthi inkululeko nentando yeningi akuhambisani ngokwemvelo. Uxhasa ngezimali ucwaningo ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi ukufa kuyalungiseka futhi kungelashwa njengesifo. Muva nje, uSam umemezele ukuthi ngeke afe. Futhi uxhasa ngezimali umbono wekholoni yokuhlola ngaphandle kwe-US, engenawo amandla kahulumeni. I-Thiel Foundation izinikele ekwesekeni intsha engathanda ukuziqalela amabhizinisi, kunokuphishekela imfundo ephakeme. Lesi sinyathelo siwukubonakaliswa kombono kaThiel ogxeka kakhulu ngemfundo yesimanje.

Abaningi bayamcabangela i-eccentric nomuntu onamalungelo akhethekile (funda: uyahlanya). Kodwa-ke, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi ukusekela uTrump esimweni lapho kungenakwenzeka khona ukuba anikezwe isikhundla sikamongameli kwavela enye imali ewusizo evela kuThiel. Njengoba ebambe iqhaza kakhulu ekusekeleni leli khandidethi, uphinde washaya ingwijikhwebu.
