This sounds really expensive! No mention in the article of how she managed it.
- paulpauper 7y agoher husband had money rom 1968 to 1971, she had co-produced Input, a Sunday-morning talk show airing on the local Philadelphia CBS affiliate, with John S. Stokes Jr., who would later become her husband. Input brought together academics, community and religious leaders, activists, scientists, and artists to openly discuss social justice issues and other topics of the day.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThe article has a better explanation later on: "She eschewed Tivo, and although she was an early and evangelical investor in Apple Inc., she never sent an email in her life. She even managed to convince the rest of the already-wealthy Stokes clan to buy Apple stock, which paid off in spades. She funneled these funds into her recording project and the massive storage space she required as the sole force behind it." It comes down to savvy investments on her part and family money, not just "she spent her husband's money".
