Sometimes around like 95 he said he didn’t need more money. He’s given away literally millions to his town (he had a little league field(?) build so his kid’s team could play) and to other notable charities for decades. He said, and has written in his books, that there’s only so much money a person needs and the rest is just vanity. He was taught that as a child and lived it as a multi-millionare (which he never truly was – bc he gave it away).
He and his family lived in the same modest suburban house in the same modest Maine town since the 70s.
And then there’s Jeff Bezos.
sometimes is heart-warming to see that indeed good people still exist
His only vanity allowances have been when he got that super over the top goth wrought iron gate for his drive way and buying the van that hit him.
He bought the van that hit him?!
Hell yeah. Dude is macabre as fuck. He’s also very chill about the whole thing, because he considers it the wake up call that really made him focus on getting sober and stopping his substance abuse, focusing on his family, and getting his books published. I feel like his Dark Tower stories after that suffered from his rush to get them done before something ELSE happened, because getting hit by that van was just the latest and worst in a string of bad things that threatened his life up to that point, but honestly I’m just glad he’s still with us.
