Thiel's track record with Palantir
Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir with Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, Alex Karp, and Nathan Gettings in 2003. Thiel invested approximately $30 million (from his own pockets and his Founders Capital venture capital fund) in the company.
Before Palantir went public via a direct listing in 2020, Thiel owned 7%-10% of its private shares. He sold millions of shares after Palantir's market debut, but he still holds a 3% stake and remains the company's chairman. That stake worth exceed $20 billion today.
