    He’s a millionaire, not a billionaire. Calm down. A millionaire most likely worked hard and earned their wealth. It’s billionaires who cheat.

      Millionaire covers everyone from having a million or two due to home equity all the way to 999 million because they just haven’t hit a billion yet. Someone who can drop a million dollars or more and still be a millionaire has multiple millions.

      Equating the two is “not all millionaires”.

        From my little bit of research, he created and sold a software startup for around $320mil. He seems to consider it something he “won” through luck instead of earned through merit

        Reading up on him, it seems he researched successful programs for helping people out of homelessness with the intent to make sure nobody in his hometown would be unhoused. He appears to be pretty involved in the community too
