If anyone knows how to make money, it must be Peter Thiel: His masterpiece in the financial markets was his entry into Facebook - a $ 500,000 stake turned into a profit of around one billion dollars.
The 53-year-old has also made headlines in the political arena since it became known that he supports US President Donald Trump.
In an interview, he talks about the three great visions for Western society, the dangers that China poses and his other personal goals.
