User:Ryan Houston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born June 10, 1988, currently residing in the Silicon Valley of California. Son of the sole-heir to a 15.3% stake in Texas Utilities, Inc., one of the most valuable public-traded companies in the U.S. At the age of 14, began handling the vast financial assets of the family, which include partial ownership of the Golden State Warriors. Three weeks after Google's Initial Public Offering, Ryan Houston spent slightly over $334 million (as reported in the SEC filing) in an attempt to acquire enough shares to take control of the company. Google, the online search giant, enacted a "poison pill" on the company, leading to a buy-out compromise between the two. Had the compromise not been reached, Ryan Houston and family would be worth over $61 billion.
