The billionaire venture capitalist tied the knot with Matt Danzeisen, Axios reported. The couple’s wedding was reportedly a surprise to guests who thought they were celebrating Thiel’s 50th birthday.

Thiel has not commented publicly about the wedding or Danzeisen.
Back in May Danzeisen spoke about the state of financial technology at a conference in Japan.
‘What might explain some of the slowdowns is that winners are emerging as certain business models are becoming more clearly dominant,’ Danzeisen said at the time. ‘So, it is cyclical, but we’ll still see innovation.’
Thiel was a major supporter of Donald Trump prior to the 2016 presidential election.

But Danzeisen was ‘much more moderate’ in his support for Trump.
Since Trump took over the White House in January, Thiel has kept a quiet and low profile. He reportedly recently invested in a startup called 3T Biosciences with early Facebook investor Sean Parker.
The startup aims to build technology to fight cancer cells.
