Not that he's poor, nonono. Still, if you play, you can win. |
Don't get me wrong - I don't have a problem that he won. But then I also don't agree with people that think rich individuals MUST be charitable with their money. Bullshit, it's their money, they can do whatever they want with it. Did he need the money? No, but then I didn't need the beer I bought today - I could have given the money I spent on beer to a homeless guy - but no one bitches at me for that, do they?
