Man, shut up. This dude made bank when he sold his company and thought, "how can I improve the lives of others with this money?"

Then he put in the work to figure out the best way to spend it. And then he fuckin did that.

Should the government be handling the problem? Yes. Is that how every rich person should think and act? For sure. But is that reality? No, so we should celebrate it when it happens.
