    This is a well researched and written article.  Good job AI
    Agreed. Probably some charity contributions, some diversification (eminently sensible), perhaps buying a major asset.

    He seems, overall, like a rather simple, frugal, non-flashy person whose life revolves around making Apple continuously better and leaving behind a better world (as he defines it).
    Nobody deserves that much money especially as America will see millions of people be evicted this fall / winter. Tax laws only favor the richest which Tim Cook is one of. Don't  gloat oner his wealth, nobody is so gifted to have a personal wealth that far about the average person. Tim runs the biggest company in the world and soon the biggest monopoly. Apple's products are lame these past few years because the no longer need to push themselves. Apple is expanding into other fields which it will buy technologies and smaller companies to get a jumpstart of dominating those. Look at history if you doubt me. 
    Thank goodness you don't have any say in matters like that.

    The mindset of poor people is that paying taxes on $132 million isn't really that much of a problem to have. 
    Even poor people have the opportunity to become rich in America and it happens all the time thanks to hard work, creativity and the right attitude. On the flip side, there are also the envious, those with an agenda who want to steal and get stuff for free by punishing the productive in our society.

    No one owes anyone anything.
    Oh really then why isn't everyone rich in America? Could systemic racism affect where some people have to live and the underfunded school system their children attend. Could it be that college tuitions are insane these days unless you are wealthy? Stop trying to sell the Norman Rockwell America that hasn't existed since Ronald Regan took office.

    Indeed. The cult of Socialism is being beaten back by regular folks in America now.

    Gross. They could have given $2000 to every single full-time employee instead.
    I think they should liquefy the company and give each employee $13,333,333.33.
    They built the company, so they should get the assets, right?

    With $13.3M, they should never have to work again, right?

    I figure if we're going with stupid, we should go all the way.
