He may not hog the limelight in the same way as Donald Trump , Elon Musk , or many of his other friends and associates, but Peter Thiel has a fair claim to be one of the world's most influential figures — as well as one of its richest. Born in 1967 in Frankfurt am Main in what was then West Germany, the Thiel family moved to the US when Peter was just a year old.
