After more than 2 decades working at Zappos, just a few months prior to the fire that claimed his life, Tony Hsieh decided to retire, in 2020, and, although he had a net worth of almost a billion dollars, Hsieh decided to pursue another dream of his – one that began 6 years earlier.

In 2014, when he began the micro-community “Llamapolis”, Tony had dreamt of a “living oasis, where he could maximize serendipity and randomness in [his] life”. It consisted of a few tiny homes and close to 3-dozen Airstream trailers – one of which was where Tony lived with Marley and Triton, his alpacas.
