Comment on Billionaire’s Guide to Buying Your Kids a Better Shot at Elite Colleges

Comments

Total donations were something like $36 million, and by all accounts, kids were extremely smart and motivated. Honestly seems like a CYA move on behalf of his staff, and not any rational approach to bring his kids' way into a top school.

$36M doesn't even come close to what this guy is netting on his investments, I'm sure. Honestly, if I had kids going to college and spending $36M was something I could do without thinking about, I'd probably do it too, just in case.

I agree but then it' not like they're suffering. $37million is nothing to them--and they can say they donated to a good cause.
