"Hugging Face in Durant: Eight years later or 60 million, more than 240 times the return."

According to news from August 28, NBA star Kevin Durant may have earned close to $60 million in cash from Hugging Face. According to Joe Popgliano, a sports commercial journalist, Durant and a business partner, Rich Kleiman, voted for Hugging Face very early. Seed wheels in 2018 had spent $100,000, and in 2019, Round A had again invested $1.55 million, with only $250,000 in total. These early investments are now likely to be worth more than $60 million, based on the acquisition price of $12.9 billion in British Wida. The $25 million became $6.0 million, representing a gross return of more than 240 times. This figure is even higher than Durant's wage for a season of NBA. He is currently working with Houston rockets and is paid approximately $43.9 million for the 2026-27 season. Durant then continued to participate in the Hugging Face B and C rounds of financing, but the additional amount was not made public. So, $60 million and 240 times more just to estimate the value of the first two investments of $2.55 million, not the full amount of what Durant finally earned from Humging Face。
