T Boone lost a ton of money.

Knight probably has most of his.

I say Knight wins in a knockout.

How did that happen?

According to Wikipdia:


T Boone ~
quote:

With an estimated current[update] net worth of about $3 billion, he is ranked by Forbes as the 117th-richest person in America and ranked 369th in the world.


Phil Knight~
quote:

As of 2010, Knight's stake in Nike gives him an estimated net worth of US$10.2 billion, making him the 62nd richest person in the world.

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.
