I suppose it depends upon the person, and I can't speak to his situation, but is it possible that after much reflection he has concluded that there are places that the money would be better used, and that neither he, nor his family and friends, really needs it? He just donated $1.2 m to the Tom Bakker Cancer Centre, so it is hardly going to waste.

It's an incredible story.
