David Kirkpatrick wrote a wonderful profile in Vanity Fair recently of Shawn Parker. Shawn parties hard, stays out really, really late and often disappears for weeks at a time. Oh, by the way, he was also the co-founder of Napster, first President of Facebook, creator of Plaxo and described by many people as one of smartest people in the world. He was removed from a high school class by FBI, for hacking into public companies purportedly “secure” networks. He is nearly a billionaire based on his shares of Facebook stock and he hangs out with the like of Sting and Sean Lennon. Yes, he is a splendid bundle of contradictions. That is what makes him fascinating.
Justin Timberlake plays Parker in the new Facebook movie, The Social Network. Read the whole article on Shawn Parker here.
