quote [ "I used to keep it at my grandmother's house, but they all passed away, and I don't want that stuff crapping up my house." ]
This really puts cleaning my parents' house out after my Dad's death into perspective - if an Olympic gold medal is crap, what isn't?

Dude's net worth is $40,000,000. I'm pretty sure he could afford to build 20 affordable houses by just spending his own money on them without all the attention-whoring bullshit. But yeah, good on him for incidentally doing a tiny bit of good while pumping up his own personal brand and clawing his way back into the spotlight with little to no financial discomfort to himself, because that's still a lot better that what most rich people do.
