He leaves an estate in the tens of millions. I'll bet he kept a good chunk of it in banks.

RIP and all, but let's not pretend he was living a Robin Hood or Mother Theresa lifestyle.

He held on to his money, he was a good businessman, obviously. And he made a nice chunk of change off of videos just like that one.

For those who enjoyed his talent, he gave good value.

The point is, he wasn't a serf in the Great Equation.

You go on and take your own advice, then!

and yes, folks can be nice too, but sometimes the truth needs to be told raw and cold, and few people did that better than Lemmy.
