Around the same time I recall reading an interview with him where he stated that money didnt mean much to him, since in his country a man with a few heads of cattle was how wealthy was defined, and he routinely donated several heads of cattle to various villages and friends over there. I do admit, I find it hard to believe that he blew his millions buying cows for africa. More likley he blew it the same way most other NBA and/or hollywood types do: fast cars, expensive clothes, gambling, maybe other things too. But that doesnt make me happy to see his life ruined by the Sudanese thugs.
Returning home to Northern Virginia years ago, I saw Bol arriving at National Airport. A young man had been driving the car, and Bol was sitting in the back seat with his feet and legs where the passenger seat in the front usually is found. It was a strange sight, but the car was, otherwise, unremarkable. He was not a flashy man.
