- JD Vance And
Peter Thiel: What To Know About The Relationship Between Trump's
VP Pick And The Billionaires
ByAntonio Pequeño IV,
JD Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate, has had
a long, collaborative relationship with GOP donor and Silicon
Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, one that has aided Vance from
his time in venture capital to his role as an Ohio senator.
Vance and Thiel's relationship dates back to 2011, when the senator
met Thiel following a talk the venture capitalist gave at Yale
Law School that Vance has characterized as "the most significant
moment of my time" at the institution, according to a blog
post he wrote for Catholic magazine The Lamp.
Vance began planning for a career pivot outside of law following
the talk, noting Thiel was "possibly the smartest person"
he ever met and that Thiel's Christian faith "defied the
social template I had constructed-that dumb people were Christians
and smart ones atheists," according to the post.
Vance launched his own venture capital firm in 2019 under the
name Narya Capital, which sought to invest in startups in overlooked
cities and reportedly received backing from Thiel and other billionaire
investors like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and former
Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Axios reported.
Thiel also reportedly brought Vance, who had established himself
as a critic of Trump, to Mar-a-Lago in 2021 to smooth over his
relationship with the former president, according to The New
York Times.
Thiel's backing appeared to be a massive difference-maker for
Vance's 2022 Senate run, as the then-candidate lacked a funding
edge over his fellow candidates and had made a litany of anti-Trump
comments years before, calling the former president "reprehensible,"
"cynical" and privately suggested he could be "America's
Hitler." Vance walked back his comments in the leadup to
Election Day and managed to secure an endorsement from Trump,
who later said Vance "gets it now, and I have seen that
in spades."
Thiel told The Atlantic last year there were a lot of things
he "got wrong" with his support for the former president
in 2016. Thiel's political ideology rests in disbelief of establishment
institutions and criticism of progressive elites.

Jul 16, 2024 - We estimate Peter Thiel's net worth at $7.9 billion-largely
thanks to his role as one of Facebook's earliest investors, as
well as his work as a general partner of venture capital firm
Founders Fund, which is a key investor in Stripe and SpaceX.
Thiel has also invested millions into Clearview AI, a controversial
facial recognition software firm.

Update (Nov. 4, 2024): Two years ago, JD Vance was an Ohio venture
capitalist best known for writing a book that helped explain
the rise of Donald Trump to liberal coastal elites. Today, he's
a firebrand senator whose first and only election victory was
bankrolled by PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel and who now has
a shot of becoming Donald Trump's heir apparent... But a promotion
to vice president would come with a compensation bump to $235,000
from his current Senate salary of $174,000. It would also set
the 40-year-old up for a future White House run of his own-and
all the monetary perks that come with it.
In one of JD Vance's statements "I grew up in a world where
everyone worried about how they'd pay for Christmas," he
wrote. "Now I live in one where opportunities abound for
the wealthy and privileged to shower their generosity on the
community's poor."
