Stallman detests wealth
He travels the world as a free software evangelist
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Does he detest wealth because he is a free software evangelist?
Or is he a free software evangelist because he never figured out how to become wealthy himself?
He was successfully charging $250/hour as a software consultant prior to taking up his "evangelist" role full-time. I think he could be quite wealthy if he were to attempt to be.
Stallman is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation grant, that's a cool $1M.
