Facebook IPO: Winners & losers

David Choe is perhaps the most surprising winner to come out of the Facebook IPO. Back in 2005, the company commissioned Choe to paint graffiti-style murals at its Bay Area offices.

Choe told radio personality Howard Stern that Sean Parker offered him $60,000 for his work. Instead, in what turned out to be incredible foresight, Choe asked for stock. He wouldn't say how many shares he had, though he did sell some on the secondary market while Facebook was still private.

No one knows exactly how many shares Choe holds, or whether he cashed out. Choe has declined to comment when media outlets ask, and he doesn't hold enough shares to be required to disclose his sales. Bur right after Facebook filed its IPO paperwork in February 2012, the New York Times estimated his holdings were worth $200 million.
