A family discovers the business

Chestnut tells a short story about his children and wealth.

Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut says his children did not initially know how successful the business was. One child’s classmate brought a magazine with his face on the cover, prompting questions about the company’s value.

He recalls them noticing other families’ expensive cars and asking when their own family would be rich. He says the numbers had not really registered with them.

Chestnut jokes that he owns an Audi R8, associated with Iron Man, but his son still talks about another child’s parent having a supercar. His children sometimes ride in his car without viewing it the same way.
