Co founder of Trulia, Sami Inkinen, needs to hang up his row boat, tri bike, mountain bike, and running shoes and just start eating and watching tons of TV. The golden parachute has officially opened.
Or finally be able to train more than the 10 hrs a week he trains with Purple Patch. He’d be an animal (more then already) if he could put in more training and could give Sam Gyde a good run in the 35-39 at Kona.
Certainly a big boost in his net worth (about 25% I read?) but it’s in the form of 100% Zillow stock. He can’t just go out and cash it all in tomorrow (or whenever the deal actually closes). He was very wealthy before and he’s 1.25x very wealthy now…his work schedule is as busy or free as he makes it. I’m guessing he’s the type who won’t sit still no matter what so probably no big changes… but I’m serious and you were not so no point in me writing this 
I first met Sami 6 years ago and dude is as focused in business, tech, information as he is running a race. Plus he’s a swell dude so congrats to him. I’m sure this will allow him more time for his projects regarding educating the public on dangerous eating habits…and perhaps run a few more races.
I think he’s actually rowing across the pacific ocean right now. Seriously.

^^^^^This.
He made big money when Trulia IPO’d. This is just a bump up. He stepped out of an operating role at Trulia years ago.
Update: Sami and his wife made it to hawaii.

Good timing too, with a couple of hurricanes on the way.
