If I were a trillionaire like Elon Musk, Bill Watterson would be one of those people I would anonymous gift enough money so that the rest of their lives would be comfortable. We need more people like him, and he should be rewarded for it.
- hackmack10 4mo agoBill Watterson is worth a hundred million dollars. He’s not hurting for cash.
- blindriver 4mo agoHe didn't license his characters, he's not worth a hundred million dollars.

- alex0015 4mo agoIn 2023 his publisher said that his printed collections had sold 50 million copies worldwide, and that the strip had appeared in 2,400 newspapers. That's at least tens of millions of dollars over many years, and with little spending and risk-averse investments, it's not unreasonable to conclude $100M for the total net worth figure.
- jonstewart 4mo agoCitation? I’m sure he’s fine but $100M?
- esikich 4mo agoSure, he's sold 10s of millions of books plus all the syndication money. Sounds about right.
- bombcar 4mo agoBill Watterson is comfortable for life - even without merchandising he's easily a millionaire multiple times over.
- dTal 4mo agoAh, I think it's safe to say you wouldn't. Nothing against you, but the personality required to acquire a trillion (!!!) dollars is incompatible with the kind of philanthropic thinking you clearly possess.
- kbelder 4mo agoMost philanthropic spending is from rich people, believe it or not.
