Tumblr: David Karp's $800 Million Art Project

David Karp is in the midst of a rite of passage that seems universal for the young tycoons of the Internet’s social era: He’s buying himself a proper swank pad. And like Mark Zuckerberg‘s luxe but dowdy $6 million manse in Palo Alto and Sean Parker‘s Greenwich Village carriage house-cum-party palace, Karp’s choice says a lot about him–and Tumblr, the blogging platform he founded nearly six years ago. The 1,700-square-foot, $1.6 million loft, which he’s currently remodeling, is quite modest for a 26-year-old whose net worth, on paper, exceeds $200 million. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2013/01/02/tumblr-david-karps-800-million-art-project/
