How has he done that? He took $10k to start his software business, and ended up walking away with $10ish million. That's pretty good by any measure. 

Yeah, he was a terrible asset manager, as are most. 

I'm not a Kevin fan or supporter. But these kind of articles just make me laugh. Mid-income journalist heckles the business success of a guy that's hit a few home runs, and a few strike outs. 

If it was a more successful businessman talking trash, I could buy it. But it's not. End of story: Kevin is a self-made multi-millionaire. That's an accomplishment.
