I will ALWAYS respect this man. He dealt with some of the worst in the universe, and he did it with class, and without any ‘hint of mint’, which seems to be required these days.

Thanks SeekAndFind. It’s difficult to find someone else, anyone else, his age, who finds as much acting work has he does, and pulls it off. Live long and prosper, Mister Shatner.

Yep, he talked about this on one of the morning shows a few years back. The gist of the story is when priceline was unknown, they could only pay Shatner in stock for being their spokesman. He wisely accepted the offer. He wouldn’t disclose how much he has made, but he said that it was considerably more than all the money he had made during his entire acting career combined.

Shatner if anything is a smart businessman. For a long time he tried to get away from the Captain Kirk image. But even in the 60’s he got himself a nice piece of the show. That’s probably worth a billion dollars by now. Too bad he was such a poophead to his fellow castmates, except for Nimoy. Not ONE other castmate has anything nice to say about the guy. I hope he’s mellowed over the years. He was genuinely surprised about the hatred the TOS actors had for him when he wrote his book. Maybe his gigantic ego prevented him from seeing it at the time.

Well, I lost $2,000+ on PCLN after buying and holding in the years after it was first issued... I bought and held to to a reverse stock split. The loss was used to offset gains in other stocks.

Loved him in the youtube video about gun control while an actor for Boston Legal. “Thank God for guns huh Jerry?”

He once killed a lizard with sulfer, carbon, diamonds, and bamboo.

Good for him. I remember when Priceline stock cratered. Shatner hung in there, agreed to keep promoting them, and they finally recovered. He took the risk and it’s paying off. As it should be.

[RockinRight]

I wish I would have bought some PCLN about 5 years ago.

[tcrlaf]

I bought Priceline and Midwest Airlines in Jan 2003 for just $1 a share.

Let’s just say my retirement is secure at this point. If Midwest (Now bankrupt) had done as well as PCLN, I’d be living like a king today.

Good for Bill, I hope he makes a lot of cash with his risky investment.
