Lets see his gross percentage over the years plus all his assets and measure it to his giving. Gilmore must think government is the answer to every problem on the face of the earth.
As has been mentioned he gives a lot to charities, including recently a total of $10 million to the homeless group Crisis in the last year or so. Last I read his net worth is $122 million and he plans to sell off some more holdings to give to charity. Most of his concerts he does for free and the proceeds are for charity. Roger Waters gives 25% of his income to charities. Sure their rich. But they're talented and they are much more giving then many American stars. I don't like what he said, but at least he puts his money where his mouth is.
