Fora start, he ‘snot worried about the $100,000 cost of his Master's program ‘at Stanford University because he is already 8 milionsire. He frst hi he jackpot in 2002 when eBay bought the online payment company he was working for. Then, in Novernber 2005, he got lucky ‘again when Google agreed to buy YouTube for $1.65 billion, ‘When the deal was signed, everybody was talking about two of ‘YouTube's co-founders - Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. After all, they ‘were the public face of YouTube. Most people didnt know that ‘there was also 0 third co-founder of YouTube, Jawed Karim. In fact, he was the person who actully first proposed the idea, Karim grew up in West Germany, but has ved in the USA since his family emigrated there when Karim started high school. His Bangladeshi father isa chemist at 3M, and his German mother i professor at the University of Minnesota. Karim obtained his degree in computer science and engineering in 2004 at the University of Minos Hurley, chen and Karim have known each other since they met ‘as employees at PayPal the payment service. When eBay bought PayPal for $15 ilion in 2002, they al eceived substantial payments. Now rich, the three men often met late at night for brainstorming sessions at Max's Opera Cate near Stanford, and discussed possible ventures. Karim sai he originally pitched the concept ofa video-sharing website to his friends because atthe time it was difficult to download videos off the Net. ‘The three agreed to divide up the work based on their ferent skills, Hurley designed the site's interface and logo, while Chen and Karim shared responsiblity for technical aspects, Ata later stage, when it as necessary to take on management roles, Huriey became ‘CEO and Chen the Chief Technology Officer. However, Karim realy wanted to return to his computer studies, so he chase not to be part ‘of the management team. Asa result, he agreed to take a smaller stake than the other two founders, and not o take a salary or even 2 formal title because, in his own words, he was focused on schoo! ‘Although since then he has continued in an informal advisory Fle, ‘he admits it was the other nwo who actualy turned the basc idea into reality. Jamed Karim isnot the first entrepreneur to lose his place in history Popular wisdom, for example, says that Bill Gates started Microsoft ‘and Sain Walton founded Wal-Mart on their own, but they 166 had, ‘co-founders. In any cas, it snot likely that Karim has too many ‘earets. While his former colleagues continue to run YouTube, his ‘dream isto teach and become a university professor. Whatever he does, money snot likely to be & problem. 2 Make sure students re tcl grammatical errors, Ask them to read the article carefully and underline any information that they think isliferent from what they heard in I.
