Of course, Ayn Rand devotees would have a hard time criticizing the guy, since there was nothing in it for him. Ayn Rand didn't have a problem with personal charity. She simply warned that it was often wasted on people who became addicted to it.
She was emphatically opposed to coerced charity, however.

"Ayn Rand didn't have a problem with personal charity." Yes, she "saw nothing wrong with it." How virtuous. She did resist the idea that there was such a notion as a "moral duty," however, particularly when it conflicted with one's self interest.
