He is wiser than most if you ask me.

There are no agents of contentment outside your mind.

I applaud his philanthropy, but I have to agree that the elevator isn't getting to the top floor. With the worth he has, he could instead use that to make more - an thus GIVE more as he chooses - to those he feels he should. Give him 5 years and he will be complaining about how it sucks to be penniless again.

Good for him. I hope he finds happiness.

Goldenrivet, why do you think he is a jackass?

Microloans are a great way to help people.

there is a difference between a loan and "giving away"

Net worth only $4.7 million ? Is that a typo ?

My house and property on Cat Is. is worth 3 times that.

He better hang on to his loot.

If you are referring to the micro-credit charity, then yes, they are true loans; not give-aways.
The payback rate for this kind of scheme is often better than that for commercial loan companies.

It only sucks to be penniless if you don't want to be penniless.
Not wanting to be something is a product of your mind, not your circumstances.
