The excitement one imagines Chet Pipkin feeling when he was a 17-year-old inventing cables that enabled Apple computers to talk to non Apple printers could be heard in the Manhattan Beach billionaire, father of seven’s voice as he talked to parents on a Zoom call in February about inventing Portal Schools.
Pipkin is the publicity-adverse founder of the computer accessories company Belkin International, which he sold two years ago to Taiwan-based electronics giant FoxConn for close to $1 billion. Portal is a new, ninth through twelfth grade school located on Belkin’s Playa Vista campus, where students will intern and have an inside track on Belkin jobs when they graduate.
