Last month, Sarah spotted an article in WSJ about Tom Perkins, legendary venture capitalist turned novelist (with some encouragement from his ex-wife, Danielle Steel). This morning, the NYT business section catches up with a short profile of their own, which underscores just how much Perkins takes the “struggling” out of “struggling writer”:
“Mr. Perkins puts his net worth in the ‘mega millions’ but somewhere less than a billion, though still enough to finance his hobbies. It has been enough to build his latest sailing yacht, which is 88 meters long, and such boats typically cost a million dollars a meter.”
Do you think he ever has literary lunches with Melanie Craft? And if so, wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall of that restaurant?
