Hawking is an outlier and it's because of biology, not money. Unlike most victims, he got it young (that slows the process for some reason) and his vital organ neurons (brain, heart, lungs) were spared.

Had no idea you could get als so late in life
That sucks but at least he's lived a great life until what - 65 years or so?

Don't know if it is coincidence but he donated the highest auctioned item at Gleason gras this past year.

The later you are diagnosed life expectancy can be shorter.
