and now i know you've been doing the math in your head as we went along... so what's the big total?!? a staggering $7592.34 PER PERSON! let's say there are like 150 people in the audience... that's like $1.1 million!!! imagine all the other things that could be done with that money?!? it just blows me away... sure it's nice to share the wealth but when you're worth like $260 million this is just chump change.

santa oprah, next year for chirstmas can you please cure cancer instead?
there are thousands of people who would be much more excited about that than a fridge with a TV in it...
