In case you didn’t know any details about Charlottesville native Halsey Minor, the man behind the Landmark Hotel, now you can read a super long feature on his life, his goals, aspirations, etc titled “The Baddest Boy in Silicon Valley.”
Some facts you should tell your non-cVillain friends about Halsey to sound smart:
- Halsey founded CNET and made over $100 million by the time he was 35
- He has thoroughbred horses which cost more than $3 million each and lives in a mansion (duh)
- He made $300 million from SalesForce.com
- He now runs Minor Ventures which invests in early stage companies
- He has a bunch of other things that cost a lot of money, private jets, big houses, etc.

For this website, I might delete the last one you’ve got there and replace it with: “He is also sinking more than $30 million into a nine-story, 100-room luxury hotel that is slated to open in downtown Charlottesville in July 2009. He says that he insisted on being the sole investor: ‘I don’t like squabbling.’”
(I.e., directly tie it to the Landmark…)
Is it Porftolio or Portfolio Magazine?
fixed, thanks TTOY
No worries, thought it might be Spanish or some dialect of investor type people.
Oooh. I keep watching it get taller and taller. Exciting! I’ll totally hang out there and pretend I’m rich/important.
If you hang out with there you WILL be rich and important at least to us. I have seen the renderings and its going to be beyond spectacular.
The rooms and common areas were designed by Michael Smith:

I look forward to seeing you there.
