I’m assuming this person has more than just this.

He freely donated millions to scholarship funds in LA.

'My youth was full of tension,' says Doré. 'My father was a hard worker, but a heavy drinker. He was a very talented man even though he couldn't read or write. He had many jobs, which included truck driving, shrimping, and welding.' Doré's father had a fierce temper and often beat his son. Finances were also a problem. On many Friday nights, Doré and his mother had to find his father before he could spend his paycheck on alcohol. 'Today, I have come to grips with my father's behavior and believe that he suffered from undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder after World War II, which, along with his other problems, wreacked havoc on his temperament.'

Early in life, Bill Doré noticed the differences between his mother's family and his father's. On his father's side, no one went to school; they were all illiterate. On his mother's side, everyone finished high school and had a higher standard of living. Around the age of 10, his mother's sister offered to adopt him, because she could have no children of her own. 'My aunt was wealthy by our standards because she and her husband owned a business,' says Doré. 'I saw life with her as an escape.' In the end, Doré's mother never allowed the adoption, and he felt his dream was yanked away from him. 'I always felt that my dreams were just beyond my reach. So I began to concentrate on the smaller rungs of the ladder to success.'
