Is Jimmy Wales Wikipedia founder rich – money or life

  > Nearly half of the people on earth live on less than $2 a day. I spend more than that on my cellphone bill. What cell provider does he have, cause $60 a month is cheap. I'm being cute, but seriously $2 a day should not be a measuring stick of average weath. Let's go with the US average of 30k a year according to his own invention [1]. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_Unite...

    To answer your more facetious question, many prepaid plans offer unlimited call/text and a functional amount of data for less than that amount. Under ATT I get call/text/3GB of rollover data for just under 50.

  Such a bogus answer. The person asking the question literally wanted a number in $ for net worth. What he got was a crash course in philosophy and moral science

    > the question literally wanted a number in $ for net worth That is literally not true. The question did not literally ask for a number in $ for net worth. I do agree the questioner may have had dollars in mind (and probably would have settled for a ballpark) and that Wales avoided a quantitative answer. Evasive and cheeky but still with some enjoyable insight.

  A more interesting question would be, after all he has experienced: Does Jimmy Wales really want to be rich?
