Let's hope this donation isn't as pointless as the one he made to the Newark school system.

I understand the premise, but life is too short to spend worrying/working/stressing about anything. Send his daughter to school let her do all she wants, but if she wants to lounge on a beach and see the world for the rest of her life he has the ability and should give that to her.


The more likely scenario would be multiple husbands and/or drug addiction and/or psychiatric problems and suicide attempts. Trustafarians tend to be pretty fricked up people. Give your kid enough to get a good start in life, and that they never have to worry about being destitute. Any more than that is doing them no favors.

I'd kiss his a-hole for 0.1% and I'd never work another day in my life

Well if the OP is correct he is only giving away his ownership of company stock

His other assets are obviously nothing to scoff at

My late, great father, Vadge Allenby, gave me $300 million, and I toiled my whole bloody life to turn that into $305 million.

Such a private and heartwarming father daughter moment. I am glad he did it purely for charitable purposes and kept it annonymous and between him and his daughter.

Such down to earth people.

shite if I had that much money I would find a way to spend it instead of giving it away. Although it would be pretty fun to walk up to hobos and hand them 10 grand or pay for everyone's bar tab.
