Yeah, he's a big time philanthropist now.
Even before he got started full time, he gave a much higher percentage of his income to charity and public works than most other millionaires and billionaires. Much MUCH higher. Like 10% compared to 1% kind of thing.
And he did it all very quietly without bragging about it.
As much as his programs frustrate me and some of is business practices have been shady, at least he's put all that money to good use. I turned around big time in my feelings about him after reading that article years ago.
Like my opinion means anything, but you know what I mean.
