Peter Thiel Trying to Become Citizen of Malta

“Peter Thiel, the billionaire and Republican political patron, has declared the two-bedroom apartment that he rents himself as his address while he works toward a goal he has pursued for about a year: becoming a citizen of the tiny island nation of Malta,“ the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Thiel, 55, is in the process of acquiring at least his third passport even as he expands his financial influence over American politics.”
