Peter Thiel's $1.25 million

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5802a169e4b0162c043c7073

Peter Thiel is donating just over $1 million to trump. I don't like him but think about this. Thiel is worth $2.7 billion. His donation is the equivalent of the average American donating about $100. That $1.25 million is as much a slap in the face as anything else. But I still don't like him.

...at the right time, sort of like Mark Zuckerberg's roommates.

Thiel is most noted for his hissy-royale because someone printed rumors that he is GAY. Thiel is gay, and his queer self was one of the absolute worse secrets in Silicon Valley.
