This is the guy who gave 350$ million to Cornell University anonymously for a technology based satellite campus on Roosevelt Island, which is expected to generate 1.4 BILLION in tax revenues for the city, create 20,000 construction jobs when started and 30,000 jobs once the facility opens ...O and by the way...he recently left his charity with over 3.5 billion dollars, even after he donated 600 million to various organizations...
He also wears a 15$ wrist watch, does not own a car or house and claims "I simply decided I had enough money."
People like this deserve way more praise, recognition and thanks than many of the people we actually give it to...but then again, he'd probably prefer nothing more than a brief "thanks."
