The Resume

    (February 11, 1983- )
    Founded Shift4Payments (1999) and Draken International (2012)
    Net worth: $2.4 billion (2021)
    Commanded the SpaceX flight Inspiration4 (September 15-18, 2021)

Why he might be annoying:

    Although he officially was the commander of Inspiration4, he did not do any piloting as the spacecraft was on autopilot.
    However, that's not to say he made no contribution to the success of the mission: he pitched in to fix the toilet after an alarm went off.
    He made the first sports bet from space, placing two bets on NFL games with BetMGM Sportsbook while over Las Vegas.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and a friend began a computer repair business in his parents' basement when he was fourteen.
    He performed in over a hundred airshows with the Black Diamond Jet Team.
    He set a new record for circumnavigating the world in a light jet at 61 hours, 51 minutes, 15 seconds -- 20 hours faster than the previous record (April, 2009).
    The Inspiration4 flight raised over $200 million for St. Jude Children's Hospital, with Isaacman himself donating $100 million.
    He had the authority to override the autopilot if necessary.
