Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Palmer Luckey was born in 1992 to Donald and Julie Freeman Luckey. He was homeschooled along with his three younger sisters on the bottom floor of a small multifamily home in Long Beach, at the edge of Los Angeles. Luckey single-handedly turned virtual reality from the laughingstock of the technology industry into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise by inventing the Oculus Rift in a camper trailer. The facts of Luckey's life are uniquely bizarre - this article takes a look at his life and what he's done since selling Oculus to Facebook for $2.7 billion.
