T Boone lost a ton of money.
Knight probably has most of his.
I say Knight wins in a knockout.

Last time I saw him on 60 minutes he was talking about losing billions and I do think he was still actively managing his donation, so yes, he may have wiped out part of the donation.

The whole massive downturn in the stock market and oil prices nailed him at the end of 2008. He lost over a billion on a bet oil would keep going up.
