Palmer Luckey’s American Dream Story Sparks Opportunity Debate

Palmer Luckey started building a virtual-reality headset when he was 17.

He worked on it in his family’s garage and later raised money from Kickstarter.

He left college and started Oculus.

Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion in 2014, when Luckey was 21.

Peter Thiel helped fund Oculus and later invested in Luckey’s defense company, Anduril.

Luckey says his success shows that people can still find big opportunities in America.

Other people point out that jobs are becoming harder to find and living costs are rising.

The story has created a debate about whether America is still equally full of opportunity for everyone.
