How do you know what financial moves make sense for him? Maybe he did "have to", to maximize his income statement.Well people with money do all kinds of these things but still doesnt take away that he donated 200 million and he didnt have to.

But....but...EDUCATION!!!
Education > econom-...entertainment.
SCHOOLS DAMNIT! It's all about the kids...
Just listen to yourself. Trying to quantify how building a new beer booth is the same as donating millions to education.
How many times did you get stuffed in a locker at school to make you hate schools so much?
And not just any education, but education in Michigan, which definitely boosts Florida's economy a whole lot.
It all makes perfect sense if you hit yourself in the head a few times.
Pass the nitrous.
Not sure why everyone looks at this deal like Ross is trying to scam the city ala Marlins style.
Isn't Ross the one who spent a billion dollars on a football team rather than giving that money to education? He must really hate schools and learning.
He spent $1 billion and received a football team. His net worth doesn't change. He spends $1 billion cash and gets $1 billion in assets.
He gave $200 million to a school and got nothing in return.
See the difference?
Are you suggesting that anyone who has money should just give it all away for nothing?
He got his taxes reduced by $200 million in return, since as someone with your passion for education surely knows, donations of this kind are tax deductible.
i doubt a billionaire cares, or worries about his taxes. he's got someone for that. lol
Yea, I'm that guy
you're ross's tax guy?! you must make bank!!! can you hire me? lol
