This guy is obviously a decent person. I happen to think it's wrong that people are allowed to be multi-millionaires when there are so many living in poverty, even in the same country. He probably has enough money to live comfortably even without that money but the point is he's not just throwing money at charity like some millionaires who have so much they don't know what else to do with it, he's actually getting involved and devoting his time to charity which is amicable.

I'm guessing that's an american billion, which is 1000 million not a million million as it is in the UK. So it's still almost a fifth of his wealth he's giving away.

Posted by Plexo: I wonder how much worth PokerStars or Full Tilt. He should also make a freeroll at Pary and give away at least 0.1% of the company to the winner
Ofcourse online poker companies make millions upon millions in rake & expenses considering the thousands & thousands of serious players around, very lucrative business to be involved in!
