Basecamp founder on becoming a millionaire overnight: 'A mild crisis of faith ensued. Is this it?' (via CNBCMakeIt)
His overnight windfall was the kind of wealth that Hansson, now 40, dreamed about as a kid.
Those games were imagination play because in real life, Hansson lived in a home provided by an affordable housing association on the outskirts of Copenhagen. His mother, "a damn magician at making impossible ends meet," did things like bike an extra 15 minutes to find the least expensive milk, he said.
When it seemed to finally be happening thanks to Basecamp, the anticipation of becoming a millionaire was intense. What did give him satisfaction, was continuing to build Basecamp, as well as writing, photography and computer programming.
