Okay. I misread... I thought he was the sole owner of the company when it was sold. But I gather that he is still quite well off.
UC: I'd have to sit down with a calculator to figure my net worth. But doing some quick calculations it comes out to 6.2% of my net pay. That may be too little in your eyes, but it is more than many others.
Seriously, if someone already quite wealthy gives $40M winnings to charity that is awesome, but pales to a blue collar worker that is going to scrape by for the rest of his life doing the same thing. It is wonderful that this guy is sharing the wealth. But it would be beyond mind bottling for the average Joe to do the same thing.
