Paul Allen passed away the other day. Real popular guy in the Pacific NW. He had something like $20 billion dollars. I posted a short video of his WWII planes and tanks from his museum. Almost all of them run/fly! I told my son - well, you have to spend your money on something! The museum has over 30 planes.

$1,000 million times 20! And he didn't just spend it - he was still making money.

Some good advice from Thornton Wilder:

“Money is like manure; it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging young things to grow.”
