Where does that $10m figure come out from? I couldn't find any solid references with a web search.

Pretty shitty reference, admittedly.

I had found that one, but it's in no way "solid" and I couldn't find any reference to back that up ;)

If you search for "Linus Torvalds net worth" you'll find pages that back up the $10m figure.

But then again, I didn't see any sources on those pages so they might as well be based on a thread like this one.
