Rabois earned his initial fortune from his time as Executive Vice President at [[PayPal]], before going on to stints at LinkedIn, Square, and Scribd. He went to Stanford University as an undergrad, where he met and befriended fellow Libertarian [[Peter Thiel]]. Rabois contributed to the Thiel-founded Libertarian newspaper The Stanford Review. He was one of several students reprimanded for yelling obscenities outside the home of a Stanford professor, including the suggestion the teacher should "die of AIDS" -- claiming the goal was to challenge the campus's rules about student speech. Gay himself, Rabois was defended by the likewise gay Thiel in his book _The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus_. See also: [[multiculturalism]]
