It isn’t easy to pin-point exactly what Peter Thiel is most famous for. His interests range from the mundane (online payments) to the fringes of scientific thought (immortality and floating cities).

He’s a libertarian. But he has also funded the secretive data-mining company Palantir, which works for the FBI and the CIA.

He co-founded PayPal and acted as its CEO before the company sold to eBay for $US1.5 billion in 2002.
Since then he launched the global hedge-fund Clarium Capital and the Founders Fund, a venture capital firm. He was Facebook’s first outside investor, making him a billionaire when the company went public.
He supports the Methuselah Foundation, whose goal is to reverse human ageing, and the SeaSteading Institute, a libertarian group founded to create independent floating cities in international waters.
He’s also launched the controversial “20 Under 20” initiative which gives 20 teens $US100,000 to drop out of college for two years to pursue their own tech projects.
He is one of the most original, controversial thinkers in tech today.
On living: 'Your mind is software. Program it. Your body is a shell. Change it. Death is a disease. Cure it. Extinction is approaching. Fight it.'
