In 2014, Snapchat acquired Scan, a company cofounded by US man Garrett Gee and two friends, for US$54 million (NZ$76 million).
Scan's technology is the basis of Snapcode, the little black dots that populate Snapchat icons allowing users to scan and discover each other with their smartphone camera.
Following the sale, Gee banked his earnings (he declined to specify the exact amount of his cut to Business Insider) and completed a brief stint working for Snapchat.
"After three quick months, I decided to take my life back into my own hands and leave my job," the now 28-year-old said.
