Years after cashing out, MySpace cofounder mocks people who work for a living

Let’s say you got Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation to vastly overpay for your upstart social networking site, thus giving you the option of cashing out and retiring early. You’d be probably be pretty proud of yourself, so much so that you’d scoff at all the poor suckers who still have to do real work for a living. And per BusinessInsider, that’s precisely what MySpace founder Tom Anderson did this week when he described himself on his Twitter feed as “the guy who sold myspace in 2005 for $580 million while you slave away hoping for a half-day off.” Anderson’s tirade was in response to criticism from one of his Twitter followers who mocked Anderson for not being “able to keep a social network alive.”
