How much do you think this publicity might cost him? Think about it. $10 million ? It’s easy to see it. Is he stupid? The law of conservation says, yes, he must be in many ways.
Precisely. Most rich cheapskates who hate to tip..... They start tipping because the bad publicity hurts them. I read a story how that gay dude who sings for REM stiffed a New York City waitress who was a fan. Michael Stipe and his entourage left her nothing
I was thinking more about the habits people develop that allow them to become rich. Giving money away for publicity purposes or tax reasons is a different ballgame and one based on a calculated benefit to themselves.
Like I say, rich people don’t get rich by being in the habit of giving money away.
