A billion ain’t what it once was. But it’s still a billion.

The fact that it comes from a company that makes money from people gambling, says it all about our society.

She had a man do it. She supplied the fame.

“Just like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Larry Page, Lopes Lara would meet her future business partner, Tarek Mansour, at college. The two became close after he began sitting next to her in class to learn from her.

Lopes Lara would spend her summers working as an intern, including at Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates and Ken Griffin’s Citadel Securities. But it was a third internship with Mansour at Five Rings Capital in New York City in 2018 that cemented their friendship—and future as founders.

It was on their walk back home to their intern apartments one night that the idea of a prediction market business—”

You could look at it that way, but what for? I should think any amount that generates income is considerable.

Just for perspective, a billion yields $10 million yearly at just 1%. So for the everyday Freeper . . .

A lot of this is relative. Paul McCartney was reportedly worth 400 million in 1980. That translates to 1.6 billion today.

Good for her. The key is how she uses it. Will she support God-loving, freedom espousing causes, or evil like leftist domination, genderbending and abortion?

Keep her in your prayers. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man (person) to enter the kingdom of God.

Her Instagram bio says she is hoping to settle down with an older FReeper.
