At some point don't you think you just have enough? What's another $400 million in the bank at that point? I mean maybe you could put that towards causes you believe in, but that's kind of the only argument I see for staying.
The definition of being rich in my mind is the very concept of being able to walk away from that kind of money for your own sanity.
- jnwatson 8y ago$400 million could help a lot of sick and hungry people. I'd dig ditches by hand for 3 months to be able to give that money to Doctors Without Borders.
- alvar0 8y agoExactly. Even if you don't want it for yourself you could at least milk Facebook for some good purpose. But as I said in an earlier comment, there must have been some negotiation between them and FB
- nicpottier 8y agoDig ditches sure. Do work that you fundamentally disagree with though? I mean where do your principles come in to the work you are doing? You choose not to rob banks to support DWB, so you have a line you yourself aren't willing to cross. I don't begrudge him one bit for his decision.
- redial 8y agoSure, but I think about it this way: every cent you can take away from Facebook is a cent they can't spend on more spying. They left and now Facebook is gonna do it anyways and is gonna cost them 400 million less.
- VectorLock 8y ago$400 million is still a lot when you're just barely a billionaire.
