Now there's proof: there are better things in life than winning the lottery. In a Daily Beast article, Jimmy So profiled David Choe, an irreverent, potty-mouthed graffiti artist who's been jailed twice and might be the most envied man in the world right now, since he stands to make about $200 million once Facebook goes public. He chose to get paid in stock options when he was invited to paint the offices of the company's first headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2005. Four years later, he was enlisted to paint the company's present-day headquarters, the results of which he posted to his Facebook page.
