Cool, thanks. That's def the type of insight I was looking for. It's surprising that someone as credentialed as Paul Buchheit has had such "modest" success/returns on his investments. $1.2MM also seems like a very conservative sum for someone of his net worth.

That's over 2 years, he's had more exits since then. You really need to wait about 7-10 years to get an idea of the returns. See mikeryan's comment.

That post is dire need of a follow up. Would be great to see where some of the more final numbers end up of his three he's still looking forward to Weebly is still kicking at a $500M valuation, Meraki was acquired for 1.2B and Wufoo got a small acquisition at $35M

At Startup School Europe he mentioned[0] backing justin.tv too which may be about to have a large exit[1].
