I don't know what the actual numbers are but I wouldn't be surprised if he put up less than $50k of his own money and had the vast majority come from research funds, considering his history (wikipedia claims he received a $450k grant in 2011 from the EPA to study lead and copper in the water). Whether or not he put $2k or $50k is not what we should be discussing but rather, the moral imperative to bring this important matter to the forefront to save thousands of lives..
