Peter Thiel donates to the Mprize
Peter Thiel, USCF chess master, co-founder of Paypal and current president of Clarium Capital, is donating $3.5 million to the Mprize to fight aging.
“Rapid advances in biological science foretell of a treasure trove of discoveries this century, including dramatically improved health and longevity for all. I’m backing Dr. de Grey, because I believe that his revolutionary approach to aging research will accelerate this process, allowing many people alive today to enjoy radically longer and healthier lives for themselves and their loved ones.”
He is a chess master, president of a hedge fund, and supporter of Aubrey de Grey - what a cool guy.
