Wall Street Kneels Before “Chubby Louie”

Gordon GeckoWall Street is abuzz over the latest Silicon Valley wonder boy. Only this time he really is a boy.

Louis “Chubby Louie” Jilson celebrated his seventh birthday, three months ago. Investment bankers were spotted at the door of his parents’ ranch, bearing original releases of Louie’s favorite antique video games, such as Pong and Tetris

Unlike Bill Gates of Microsoft or Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook who achieved notoriety in their twenties by using their technical genius to create companies which went on to be worth billions, young Louie’s gift is hostile takeovers, mergers and acquisitions.

The baby faced CEO of Puppie Play Tail Holdings took over PopTop gaming last year with only $200,000 upfront. Now the video game maker is valued at over $600,000,000,000. Louie strategy is to acquire high tech companies which have either overreached or underperformed.

Louie was adopted in 2003 by a San Jose couple. There are rumors on Wall Street he was first raised by wolves.

His childhood was unremarkable but for two exceptions.  In kindergarten, Louie was dismissed after being repeatedly found selling snacks back to their original owners.

And there was the time he organized the ouster of his T-ball coach by promising the parents a championship. Player Louie wasn’t getting enough playing time. Coach Louie delivered.  

The child’s approach to social relationships is different.  But there are CEOs past and present who have their own eccentricities.

Apple’s Steve Jobs hates buttons on his machines and his shirts which explains his signature black turtleneck. Ted Turner of Turner Broadcasting once challenged Ruppert Murdoch to a boxing match.  And when, Peter Cray of Cray Research is bothered by a problem and needs to relax, he digs holes underneath his house

Wall Street calculates that given his youth, Louie’s wealth creation potential exceeds Bill Gates and Warren Buffet net worth combined.
