Sorry Dave. It's not for you or anyone else to say how much money someone should have. Paul earned his wealth fair and square and can do with it whatever he likes. I'll bet he probably gives a lot to charity but just chooses not to boast about it in the newspapers.

I'd be willing to bet that Mr. Gilmour gave the money to "the 'urban village' project of the homelessness" to make HIMSELF feel better. Otherwise he'd give almost EVERY last penny he had (minus enough to live a modest lifestyle, of course). Because, let's face it, no matter what he gave, there are still thousands of homeless bums out there, yet he still has MILLIONS.

I've always thought this about the liberal scumbags (the rich ones, that is). They donate a nice sum of cash and then let the whole world know they did so. All just to help THEMSELVES "feel" better (as they cruise from one Hollywood awards event to another).

Three years ago, Sir Paul threw a birthday party for Heather where guests had to pay for their own drinks at the bar.

Flog him!!!

Dave's kind of new to this generosity thing himself (even after touring and singing about Money, in the post Roger Waters' Pink Floyd). He only recently sold a house he wasn't using and got rid of some extra cars.

If people are going to only keep the money they "need" we will all be living the life of the Amish who try to abstain from worldly goods. It's not that they are inherently evil devices, but where does one stop?
