That's nice. That $500 will come in handy for buying a textbook or two.

What the hell shoe was this guy making that he has that kind of money? Air Jordans?

I heard North Dakota offers quite a bit of money to get college grads to stay in North Dakota since the state is bleeding people...of course the downside there is that you have to live in North Dakota.

Well, he did invent modern retail...

I guess this guy did know how to make a suitable living. Heck, he was rich enough to buy a share of the Boston Red Sox, of all things. No wonder his legacy can afford a simple charity.
