That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business. In any case, to me, 220k is enough out of a million.
I never viewed money as being “my money” I always saw it as “The money” It’s a resource. if it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.
Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater
Interesting time for this what with the 99% vs. the 1% movement going on right now. I know lots of billionaires have signed pledges and such to request higher taxes but Louis C.K. seems to be the only guy putting his money literally where his mouth is.
Yes I know this is not about taxes but his sentiment here is what I think the 99% movement is really all about.

Louis CK is a hero. From a professional point of view, not only did he buck the system by showing the world that he could produce and distribute this special on his own, but he did it by charging a fraction of what a major distribution company would charge ($5 vs. $20). The entertainment industry will be paying close attention to this. This event will be a historical turning point when look back upon it 10 years from now.
From a personal point of view, not only did he made sure that the people who helped him got paid, but he listened to his fans, and contributed a huge percentage of the take to their favorite charities. How much more can an artist connect with his fans?
