Peter Thiel has spent decades selling the future. Now he appears to be buying an exit ramp in Argentina, and it comes with a Buenos Aires mansion, a presidential friendship, and enough geopolitical intrigue to make Silicon Valley look almost boring.
The billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, one of the most influential and controversial figures in American tech, has reportedly moved his family to the South American country, purchased a mansion in one of Buenos Aires' most exclusive neighborhoods, and placed himself closer than ever to President Javier Milei, the libertarian leader turning the country into the world's boldest free-market experiment.
