Basecamp founder on becoming a millionaire overnight: ‘A mild crisis of faith ensued. Is this it?’

David Heinemeier Hansson remembers the moment he became a millionaire. He grew up “lower middle class,” so the moment was significant, he said.

“The euphoria I felt when it was finally real lasted the rest of that day. The inner smile remained super wide for at least the rest of the week,” Hansson wrote in 2015 for Observer.com, nine years after he became a millionaire.
