His artwork covers Jay-Z and Linkin Park’s Collision Course; he’s provided set decorations for Juno; and a portrait of Obama he painted is hanging in the White House.



But it’s his contribution to Facebook that might be Choe’s magnum opus.

The L.A. native was compensated for mural work he did at Facebook’s Palo Alto HQ in 2005 with company shares in lieu of a few thousand dollars. In light of yesterday’s IPO filing, Choe’s shares may now be worth upwards of $200 million.

Best part? He once called Facebook’s concept "ridiculous and pointless."
