It's what he's thinking. You know it is.
Picture yourself with $230 million in the bank. The people around you. The isolated posh life you live. Would you care about the poor?

Yeah, I would. You can only spend so much. There are a lot of ways I'd spend it.

Other than setting the kids up and fixing up our aging cars, (a tiny fraction of that amount), the first thing I'd do is call the Shalom House (refuge for battered women) and agree to pay for bulletproof glass for their facility. They've had a few shootings. The list goes on from there. Nobody needs that much money.

I vowed to give away $2 for every $1 I spent on myself / family. Keep me honest....
So I could buy an Aston Martin, as long as I give $300K to charity.
I'd probably never buy a super-luxury car...who am I kidding?

Most of it I would give to charities. I don't need a lot of money.
