I guess. I just read the story and I have already forgot his name.

As long as he used private funds and did not hurt destroy anything, I don't have a problem with this, but at the same time, don't really have any interest either.

There are so many other ways to "make history" by helping people and trying to make the world a little bit better. What could he have accomplished if he had taken this money and effort and put it to something else?
