After turning down every media outlet so he can go on the Howard Stern show, artist David Choe talks jerking off in a Japanese prison, naturally. Then, about the time Facebook paid him for murals in stock that’s now worth more $200 million and how much of it is left. Listen.

Here’s the tease: David Choe was actually offered a handsome sum of $60,000 to paint murals all up and around Facebooks HQ offices. He and everyone else though Facebook was a joke, but being a gambling man — he won his first million in Vegas — Choe took the stocks. Facebook’s $5 billion IPO caused it to skyrocket recently.

David Choe is a real artist, he started off a graph artist become famous in his own right as an artist, made his first million gambling in Las Vegas, went to Japanese prison for 3 months and in 2005 was asked by then Facbeook president Sean Parker (the kid who started Napster) to paint the walls of Facebook’s office with his art. Choe was asked if he would take $60,000 or shares in Facebook for his services, he decided to take shares as a risk and didn’t think anything would come of it, in fact and never been on Myspace or Friendster, much less had access to the internet as he had just got out of jail. When a New York Times article broke recently that Choe would stand to make anywhere between $100 and $500 million as a result of Facebook going public, Choe not only became incredibly rich but also famous.

He decided to share his story with Howard Stern in which if you are any type of entrepreneur or artist should listen to below.
