George Lucas Just Made $4 Billion Without Any VC Money

Oh please,

The movie industry may not call them VC's but George Lucas didn't make Star Wars out of his own pocket money. It took a crap ton of investment money for him to become successful.

Article doesn't mention the obvious one either - he didn't do with an exit strategy in mind, or necessarily to make a pile of cash, just to do what he loved.

He kind of was leading technological development for a whole industry, too. Well deserved.

This is one of those articles that deserves a middlebrow dismissal. =/
