He doesnt need the money, his son doesnt. So he is giving it to charity.

Then he is buggering of for four months to ride his motorbike.

Good bloke in my view.

Good on him for doing something good for the world with it, rather than squandering it all on unnecessary materialistic parc!

Good on him I suppose, but he could have invested the money and created more wealth, therefore increasing the living standards of everyone...
