Player #25874027, true that they build that foundation, but it's not charity, they give one to get back five. Read a little more about what he and that foundation did to african women. That's one example. And he admitted that clearly and loud. You can find for example that video in YouTube. So clearly he's not as good as he wanted us to believe that.

Sad that as a VERY RICH PERSON that it was purchased instead of using the funds to provide to the less financial areas of the USA!

lhave a question, why was it put on sale in the first place? if it was meant to be kept away from the public,it should have been left were it was. you can't blame him for buying it or somebody else would have bought it

Alas, much as it might seem better if a museum had instead purchased Da Vinci's writings, it would more typically have ended up glassed with only two pages available for public viewing and the rest left hidden from general public viewing...
