He turned the tables on a public menace. Thiel is a hero. Gawker libeled and slandered people. Gawker invaded private lives and cavalierly ruined people for sport.

I don't like the guy's mentality. This revenge on Gawker went too far. I hope you won't make a video on him because he isn't old money and for obvious reasons, he won't leave children behind

Old Money Luxury
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET VENDETTA
Not all revenge comes from fists or firearms—sometimes it arrives in the form of expensive lawyers funded by invisible benefactors.
Due to being publicly outed as gay by Gawker Media in 2007, Peter Thiel orchestrated perhaps the most expensive revenge plot in modern history by secretly bankrolling Hulk Hogan's privacy lawsuit against the publication until it collapsed into bankruptcy.
The tech billionaire remained hidden behind the scenes for years while his legal mercenaries dismantled the media company piece by piece, only revealing his involvement after Gawker had been financially destroyed.
Most remarkably, Thiel later described this calculated demolition of a media outlet not as vengeance but as "one of the greater philanthropic things" he had ever done—reframing personal retribution as a charitable contribution to society.
