I guess they can't all be George Lucas.. huh..
The "Star Wars" director will donate the $4.05 billion he will receive from the sale of Lucasfilm Ltd. to Disney to a foundation focused on education, according to the Hollywood Reporter. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/george-lucas-donate-4-billion_n_2067145.htmlI still can't believe he sold it... neither can I believe he gave the money away after selling it..
just wow.
He's still a gazillionaire, regardless. He knows he'll never know hunger, shelter or fear medical bankruptcy. He "get's it." He's set...till the day he takes his last breath. He knows that when he closes his eyes for the last time...he ain't take'in shit with him...and that any family and friends he's remembered in his will, will be light years ahead of the majority of American's in the financial security he's bequeathing them. Hell, Bill Gates is *only* leaving each of his kids 10 mill. With the understanding that they will still be (even if they decide not to do a damn thing with that money besides live off the interest) 1,000 times better off than he was before he made it big and 90 percent of the population.
I don't think he was ever the type that felt the need to compare his financial cock to everyone elses. I'm sure he made a bunch of millionaires and billionaires (and the wanna be's) cough up blood with that move...but fuck'em. He's paying it forward. He wants to see society/America succeed.
