Early Facebook backer Peter Thiel has cashed out the majority of his stake, according to a filing with the SEC.
He's sold 20.6 million shares at an average price of $19.73. He's holding on to 5.6 million shares
This looks bad, but it's really not. Thiel made a $500,000 angel investment in Facebook in 2004. Eight years later, he's ready to cash out. 
We're sure he would have liked to make more money, but $406 million from a $500,000 investment is pretty good.
And he's still got millions of shares which can appreciate further in value.
