The following was written about Ted Turner:
"Turner worried that other plutocrats might not lose their virginity. They were too obsessed with clawing their way up the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans to discover charity's delights; they needed some kind of spur to force a shift in their priorities. Hence Turner's suggestion, in an interview with Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, that someone create a list of philanthropic donors. A list means a competition; and a competition means winners; and the prospect of winning is a certain magnate magnet. In 1996, this magazine responded with its first Slate 60 list. One decade on, here is the 10th one. "

I was gonna be on it, but fell a little short on the money part....

Oxford · 02-21-2006, 08:03 PM

I think the part where Ted Turner talked about not losing your virginity because you're so motivated to become wealthy that you have no time for other pursuits was the most unrealistic quote.

Apollyon67 · 02-21-2006, 08:34 PM

heck, I was only $50,000,000.00 short.

Chris · 02-21-2006, 09:13 PM

I guess that since my last check bounced they won't put me on the list!

Troy · 02-21-2006, 09:15 PM
