Re: Wall Street Mogul gives $800 million to charity then jumps off 16th floor balcony
It's a shame that he didn't donate his money to charities that directly helps people and animals.

What a waste of huge sums that really could have made an impact on other living beings that need help.

A pity, also a pity that he died an atheist.

Sad story all the way around.

Did no one else notice that he was EIGHTY SIX years old???

He very likely knew that some major body function was giving way, and he wanted to go out with control over his fate.

Actually he was probably a pretty cool old guy. Squared his business affairs away, then took a flying leap.

Sounds a helluva lot better than languishing in your own shit in a nursing home.

What a strange story.

If I wanted to kill myself I wouldn't jump from the 16th floor. Too many seconds left to spend your last moments in sheer terror.

No, the best way is to do like that corrupt politico guy did (can't remember his name).

Pull out a revolver at a televised press conference, and eat it.

He seemed pretty upbeat about everything until he pulled the trigger.

Wall St investors, property developers, bankers, used car salesmen, et al and more should all be given the book "Final Exit" when they choose their careers. Make it requisite reading.

It was nice of the guy to leave the money to charity though. But is sounds a lot like "guilt money" to me.

Much better that Charities that HE believed in got most of his money than uncaring selfish relatives that he hardly knew.

You don't have to like the Charities that he did ... so YOU can give YOUR money to other Charities that YOU believe in, but believe me, most of those here bellyaching about the charities that HE gave to won't even give away 1% of their income, or a good part of their net worth, to ANY charity at all!!

I call it point blank: ... MOST of those complaining here are so selfish that THEY won't even support the charities that they "CLAIM" to believe in with any sort of sizable donation. They are just complainers.

The paper reports that he has donated more than $100million a piece to four different charities: The Nature conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the World Monuments Fund.

Another issue that appealed to him- and was close to his purse strings- was an investment in New York City's Catholic schools.

The felt that the tuition at the schools, which were going through financial issues, showed an immediate 'return' and he gave $20million to a fund earmarked for that cause.

'I’m an atheist, but I think the schools are especially good,' he said.

Budd wasn't corrupt; he was found guilty by a corrupt judge. He killed himself to ensure his wife Joann would still get his multimillion dollar pension after his death; if he died while in office, she would get it.

It's a shame how people just damn someone without knowing the details. Budd was a tragic case, not simply something to just laugh about.
