"Nguyen was earning an estimated $50,000 a day. Not even Mark Zuckerberg became rich so fast."

False. Zuckerberg became rich faster. Facebook was founded in February 2004. As of February 2014 Zuckerberg's personal wealth is estimated at $31.6 billion. So, during these 10 years, his wealth increased on average by $8.7 million per day.

But I guess the point is moot anyway since RollingStone is comparing apples to oranges (earning != wealth).




He went from $0 in the bank to $1,000,000 in the bank in the span of a few weeks. That's pretty fast by any standard. Starting from 0.
