He actually is a minor celebrity. He was one of Obama's biggest donors (and has been to the White House multiple times for personal visits with Obama), he was interviewed by Oprah, and had an entire hour of network television devoted to him in his episode of "Secret Millionaire" on ABC.
How's this for irony, he was on an episode of Secret Millionaire where he donated to a battered women's shelter. You can't make this stuff up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZMwXRvbysY#t=241
I remember him from the show, "Secret Millionaire," where millionaires dress as poor people for a week, then give away money to citizens that helped them out.
While I respected him for doing the show, I remember thinking at the time that he was way too into himself. He'd wear v-neck, designer shirts even though he was supposed to look homeless.
Then he'd cry a lot, and say, "And I normally never cry, but this has gotten me so emotional.." Which means he probably cries all the time to make himself look sensitive.
And he spread out his giveaway, which made the episode boring. Where other millionaires gave $100,000 per person, he'd give multiple people, $10,000.
All around bad episode. Now I'm mad..
