Yvon Chouinard â the âexistential dirtbagâ who founded and gifted Patagonia
The publication of a magazine article in 2017 âreally, really pissed offâ Yvon Chouinard, the mountain climber turned reluctant businessman and founder of outdoor clothing company Patagonia.
In the article, Forbes crowned Chouinard as a billionaire and added him to its list of the worldâs richest people. While many people daydream of achieving a nine-zero fortune, for Chouinard it was a sign he had failed in his lifeâs mission to make the world a better and fairer place.
