Dot Com Millionaire to Give Away Most of His Money

from the i'm-sure-there-are-plenty-of-interested-parties dept

The founder of ChiliSoft, who cashed out with about $15 million has said that he's going to use about $11 million of that windfall to help educational causes in Central America. This is, of course, very noble, and he is still left with a cool $4 million, which I'm sure is enough to make his life very comfortable.

  1. VERY NICE by Mr.White on Mar 24th, 2000 @ 5:05pm

    This guy rocks.......

    all these millionaires.....that have all this cash? WHY? You cannot take it with you....and the fact is......what can you do with 8 million that you cannot do with 4 million? I just don't see it. Personally, I would travel and build houses for homeless [or large communities] ....that would be nice. mrwhite@collectivethoughts.org

    I agree with you 100% There are plenty of people out there trying to make it, and with a little bit of help, they can go where they are trying to go.

  6. Contentment by Joelle ludington on Oct 23rd, 2002 @ 3:47pm

    I know by experienced that money is not the solution to everything and yes it does help..but having had it at one time and people always needing money after awhile it can be very draining being asked for money all the time ..I know that Godliness with contentment is great gain and the eye is never satisfied ..but little is alot when God is in it ...and yes it is hard telling that to the hungry and the needy and there are so many needs and we can't feed everyone and meet every need But we can pray and don't underestimate the power of prayer..you show me you faith without works and I will show you my faith with works ..

    I've recently been terminated from my employmentof 10 years because the mgr.thought he was doing the company a favor by terminating me when I reported an injury. Big guys always get away with stuff like that cause they can afford to.

  11. Brain Tumor Patient - Needs $15,000 by Sue Vannelli on Mar 17th, 2003 @ 1:46pm

    I have a brain tumor and I am looking for a very rich person to give me $15,000 to pay my bills. If you don't wish to share your welath with me maybe you know someone who does.

    $15,000 would save my life. I am preparing to have my surgery but I would like to know that all my debts are paid before I go into surgery. I have an acoustic neuroma tumor near my brain steam which after surgery will leave me deaf in my right ear. If anything happens in surgery I will be left with my right eyelid that will never close again and I will have to have gold weights put into the lid to make it close and wear a plastic bubble over my eye at night so I don't get stuff in it at night. It is going to be awful.

    Can you please help me or give my information to another millionnaire that could send me a check.

    Thanks for listening to my appeal.

  14. Re: VERY NICE by Margie on May 15th, 2003 @ 9:49am

    I to have BIG problems with our home. We had a contractor come in and do some work .....which was done very poorly. State inspector found 6 violations in his work, and he will not return to fix the problems. I am afraid our house will come down if we have a strong enough wind. We cannot afford to get our home rewired...so insurance cancelled us..we need new windows...and every funding agent has turned us down....We need about 20,000.00 to get every we need done and no one will help. I was so depressed about everything I attempted suicide a few months ago. If anyone reading this knows someone with a BIG,GENEROUS HEART...please e-mail me.
    Thank you.

    After reading several of the messages above, I pray that someone will help us all. Being a single mom who works full time and just pray that things could get easier. It would be nice not to have to juggle all the bills each month. It would be nice to be able to get your child the things that they need. To life in a nice house. To the lady who has a brain tumor if I had the money you need to help save your live I would do it in a heart beat. If I was a millionaire I would help!!! So I keep praying that some how things will get better. Thanks for your time...jojo753@yahoo.com

  18. Need someone that understands by Dawn on Jun 23rd, 2003 @ 7:04pm

    I know not everyone will understand my dilema, but, I'm hoping someone with a big heart and that believes in true love will. I also know that there are plenty of people with bigger problems than mine, but, to me, mine seems HUGE. I am needing to move my 2 daughters and myself to Australia. My boyfriend lives in Queensland and is emotionally a wreck right now, because he's going through a custody battle and he's not emotionally a very strong guy. The thing standing in our way is the money to get the visa and to make the move. I need around $10,000 just to get us legally over there. And I need to get it done as soon as humanly possible, I know the visa can take a lot of time, but, I don't even have the money to get that started right now. And with raising the girls on my own, I don't see a way to save enough very soon. Heck, I have never asked anyone for money in my life, but, my boyfriend needs me there, and if you've ever truly been in love before, you know how hard it is not to be with the person you love. Please e-mail me if you know of ANYONE that would be willing to help me.

  26. HELP ME by Nick Palomino on Oct 24th, 2003 @ 3:53pm

    I know that Central America can use the money. However, what about people such as myself who grew up living a hard life;(basically raised my siblings at the ages of 6-8... to later (present day)struggle because I didn't have the know how to provide for myself and my new family. I made alot of mistakes in my life ... I admit that, but when I pray to my GOD and try to do everything in my power to make things work, it just seems hopeless after a while. In June, I moved my first love (reunited) and her (our) 2 girls down to Virginia Beach with me. Things went well for the first 3 months. I felt like a responsible adult. Bills got paid and and I thought I had a good secure job. That is until I was laid off in Sept.
    You see, I worked on the road installing ilse lighting systems and floor covering (I enjoyed it). Iwas told I had a future with the company and suddenly after being sent home for my 2 weeks off, I'm told that I am no longer needed. That didn't bother me at first but then I tried getting work locally. Let me tell you the economy must have really gone down the tubes.
    Then we get the Hurricane Isabel to boot. One month has gone by and we barely made rent. I behind in bills, and how could forget to mention that as I was job searching I developed a mild case of bell's pausy ; causing me to go deeper in debt (4000 when it's all said and done). Also, I been out of work so long I don't know where next weeks food in coming from.
    I don't know if this message is going to the right people but ...just want to be heard.. I guess.
    So I hope that whatever money is being given away is going to the right peolple because I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who try really hard to make things work. And thats just 3/23 of my life

  27. Good Plan by April on Dec 3rd, 2003 @ 2:35pm

    I think it's an excellent way to help the world out a little bit. This man is making a huge difference in someone's life. He's doing that old adage, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats forever. He's donating to education which will further better these people's chances at a good life.

    BTW, I noticed all of these heartbreaking requests for money. It is too bad that the philanthropists out there can not just give directly to the people, that they usually have to go through an organization and they rarely see the look of joy on people's faces.

    If any wealthy person would like to help me out, with any amount of money, I would be much obliged. I am pregnant, with one toddler and an immigrant husband who is working his butt off trying to get an American education because his European degree means nothing here. We are stuck in a tiny apartment with no place for my young son to run around. I can't even let him outside due to the heavy traffic in our parking lot.
    All I want is a small house with a backyard to call our own. I have been working towards this goal but it is very difficult. I have paypal.

  28. To the ChiliSoft founder by Brian Oulman on Mar 16th, 2004 @ 11:10am

    I have been to Central America twice to seek the adventures down there. I am getting married and moving my new family to Florida to enter Optometry school. Funding is going to extremely tough in the next few years. My soon to be has worked as a nurse in Belize in the past. She was there for the Hurricane of 2001, and saw the devastation. We have great friends in Belize, and would love to be able to give back to those communities. One thing when I become a liscenced Optometrist is to donate time and efforts to help Central America in their vision through expeditions and teachings. Just curious your thoughts.

  29. American citizen needs money by Daniel Anthony Russo on Mar 22nd, 2004 @ 7:14pm

    Dear Sir,
    It has flooded six times in my hometown of
    Matoaka, WV since 1996. My father died in Nov.
    of 2000. My mother lives alone and still burns
    coal, but needs to move before it floods again.
    She cannot afford to move.
    When she does move, I will have no place to live. She needs about $55,000 to move to a small cottage in Bluefield, WV where it does not flood, on a hill.
    I am a graduate student in Industrial Health and Safety Engineering.
    If you could help me help my mother I would be forever grateful, and maybe help you somehow, sometime.
    Thank you,

    Dan Russo

  30. money for a friend by Threasa Waters on Mar 23rd, 2004 @ 12:16pm

    To Dot Com Millionaire,
    I'm not asking for money for myself. It's for a friend. Her Name is Amanda . The reason I'm asking for her is that I've been friends with her for a few years and during that time she's gone through very hard times. She's a single mother who loves her child very much and tries to do so much for her, She's had jobs in the past that never worked out for her. All the companies she worked for closed there business. So now she wants to work for her self , But she does'nt have the money to start it with. So I went surching and saw your site and thought I would ask you if you can help. She really deserves a break. She has a business in mind but she thinks it would cost at least $100,000.00 TO start up. Can you help. Please email me and let me know.
    Thank you.
    T. Waters

  33. Wishing.... by Mary on Apr 1st, 2004 @ 10:19pm

    May 15,2001 I got laid off from my telecommunications job. Lost my house, lost my car, all my items that was inside of my house, and I continue to try to find a job. It is very hard to find one without a car or jobs that aren't hiring with my qualifications. Most buses don't go to the area you need to get to. Now that I have some what of a roof over my head with the help of family and friends I am recently going to college for a different skill and it is hard to get back and forwth to school exspecially since the bus lines don't go that part of town. Not asking for money just for something decent to be able to get to and from school, also it would help on being able to find a job where bus lines don't go. Thank you for your time or consideration. Mary

  41. Need of money to return to U.S. by Sean on Aug 29th, 2004 @ 7:29am

    I am currently residing in Germany, working for an American Company on a post here in Germany , paying german taxes(which is 48% in my case). I got out of the service and married a german girl and stayed here. So I'm living from paycheck to paycheck...I can't really save money, to go back. I have a baby girl on the way due next month, and I would like our family to be able to have the endless opportuntuities that we have in the U.S. I want my family and myself to have a future.

    Dear Sir,
    I am currently residing in Germany, working for an American Company on a post here in Germany , paying german taxes(which is 48% in my case).

I have a baby girl on the way due next month, and I would like our family to be able to have the endless opportuntuities that we have in the U.S. I want my family and myself to have a future.

    I know how you feel. I had three hundred pounds of granite slabs fall on my knee and mess it up pretty bad, and when the dr. gave me my off duty slip they fired me. That was 6 months ago and i steel havent recieved any benefits. Luckily i could move in with parents and did not have any cars or financial responsibility at the time or i would have lossed it all. Some of those big companies arent worth a *#@*.

  47. money by John Adams on Apr 15th, 2005 @ 1:27pm

    Hi Sir, I know its been over 5 years since u were bought out and the money is probably long gone by now but just in case id like to plead my case: well im 38 years old and i still live with my mother, i get chronic ear infections that make me miss alot of work at the pet shop and the ointment the doctor gave me to use makes the birds very angry and they often swoop at me. Also, i was born with one leg much longer than the other which made me run in circles much more than the other kids, currently to this day i find my self veering onto the road as i walk to work. kids have always pciked on me and called me names, my coworkers kids to this day throw things at me. im am a very desperate man and i have very low standards. if you could send me enough money to move out of my mothers place i would be forever grateful to you kind sir. thank you for your time.

  56. Please Help Keep My Family Together. by Paula York on Jun 8th, 2005 @ 11:38pm

    Hi,
    I have read all of the pleas for financial aid here and there are a lot of people needing help more than us, but if we can't get some aid, my family will have to be split up.
    I'm from the UK and I'm living in the US with my husband and my (our) son. My husband is an American citizen, and we have been trying for the past 3 years to get the money together to pay for my son's and my own immigation doc's.
    Unfortunately we are finding it impossible to save that money right now, as my husbands employers don't pay very well, and it's all we can do to keep up on the rent, and most of the bills.
    My British passport runs out in December of 2005, and if we don't find someone with a huge heart to help us, my son and I will have to leave to return to the UK.
    I love my husband very dearly, and it would break all of our hearts if our family was split up, as I don't think I would ever have the chance to return.
    I would be forever in your debt if you could help us.
    Thank you.
    Paula York

    I am desperate and need money real bad.I have lost my home in forclosure,filed bankruptcy and lost everything else.The best part of my life right now is my son who is 11.He has gone from being smiling and happy to very moody ,withdrawn and unhappy.I would give anything to see that smile return to him.If there is any one or any way anyone can help me financially it would surly make us have something to smile about.I am in great need of 5500.00 to pay bills and fix my front teeth so I am able to smile at a job interview,maybe then I will be able to obtain a job and get back on my feet and help my little boy's smile come back.

  58. single mom of 4 with no financial assistance by Tanya Devine on Jun 26th, 2005 @ 2:53am

    I am a young mother of 4 beautiful, intelligent wonderful, children. The youngest of the 4 was born with an enlarged kidney and has had numerous operations and is still battling the problem. I work to provide for my children and attend school in the afternoons. I am planning on becoming a marine biologist. Everyday we face new hardships, whether it be what we will eat throughout the day, how we will make it to the next doctor's appointment, or how the next bill will be paid. My boyfriend of 10 years recently left me alone with the children to fend for ourselves without ever looking back. No explanation, no excuse. I planned to continue classes this summer but was unable to do so. I've never done anything like this before and don't really expect a response but it just helps knowing someone might care enough to at least look into it. Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Tanya Devine

    Hi. Thank God for this precious person. History:
    I had a very dysfunctional childhood. Low self esteem, low confidence, nail bitter, and a bed wetter, made many bad decisions. In a AA meeting, I was told I had potential for becoming a nurse. Applied to school. struggled! After 10 years, graduated. I was overwhelmed with joy! As a nurse, I give so much of myself to others and not to myself. I would love to take a vacation with my family. My problem, DEBT! It would be a blessing if my debt could be taken down a bit so I can sleep well and relax a little. Thank you so much for your time.

    i am amazed at how many people have ask you for money since 2002. My questions is how many of them have you helped?

    I could give you a long song and dance about how life sucks as a middle class person but the fact of the matter is It doesnt!

    I am here to ask you for some financial assistance but it is because of my pride that makes this very hard for me to do, however i have allowed myself to get in a bind and if you would just LOAN me some money very quickly i would pay you back very soon (like in the next month) I am just in a jam. If you do not want repayment i will repay in a donation in your name to a charity of your choice.

    I hope you answer this email and i do think you are going to be my angel. PLEASE HELP ME VERY SOON or at least reply back with some sort of decision.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

  75. it really saddens me by toni on Aug 15th, 2005 @ 7:19pm

    you know if you put this on the web just to get a poll it really saddens me as there truly are people that needs help from people, as if they think that someone of the means would graciously help they put their pride aside to ask for some help. Yes there are some that really dont need financial help but more just looking to enjoy life alittle and get a taste of what it must feel like to be able to spend the day with their children and spouse. But i just want to say shame on you if this was a tactic to get a poll on how many people would ask for money. I dont know who reads this or what but i hope you found your answer And everyone that ask please dont lose hope as there truly are good people willing to help.

    I am not an angel but I do believe in God. I believe that if you are in need and will just pray God will Provide. I know sometimes its hard because things don't always come when you want it but it will come when you need it. God is working on my patients because I too will try to go out and fix things. My only problem is that I don't receive a lot but I do give from my heart. I don't have a lot of money but If i did I would help people. I help people with what I have. I even need sometimes myself and would love for someone to give me but I can't but my trust in man but in God almighty who will touch that person heart to help me. He has already told me my blessing is coming I'm just waiting.

    So, please, if you have reached this page and are looking for money please (1) understand that the people who created this page aren't giving out any money and (2) we have no connection with anyone who is giving out any money and (e) let us know how you got here.

    Hello, My name is Connie Jones. On Aug. 8th we almost lost our 7 year old daughter to diabetiess. We wound up in ped intensive care with a 2222 blood sugar we were unaware she was diabetic. She has lost her lower right leg but thanks to God she is alive. He has granted me the wonderful privlege to raise this child. I am writing today because I have been off work since this happened and it looks as if i will be off at least another month or two to help get her trough rehab and such. I also have a 15 month old son who is a downs baby and I receive ssi for him but at this time this is our only income. I have contacted a few social service agentcies for help and they have been able to help me with my electric bill but they have been unable to help with my mortgage, and I still have a water bill. My mortgage for Aug and Sept. is 946.90 and Oct.is coming up. I don't know if you would be able to help but any help at all would be great. In this case the saying every little bit counts really is a blessing. Thank You and God Bless

    I realize money is not everything. But when you don't have it it's alot. You don't need to have millions, just be able to have a decent home and not have turn off notices for your basic necessities like electric, gas, and phone. To be able to cloth your children, and make sure there are presents under the tree at christmat time. If you can help me, and i'm only asking for the holiday season. I have two little girls ages 8 and 9, i'm 40 and have been on my own since the age of 16, having a mother that threw me out in favor of her boyfriend, and a father I saw only on Sundays, but he died when I was just 14. So I went on welfare and tried to put myself through school. Now I have two daughters and I don't want them to go through what I went through. I had to pay all my bills to keep my electric and phone on, and pay my rent. I have no money to buy them Christmas presents, and they are in desperate need of winter clothes. If you can donate some money to us, or collect from several people, family, friends, or church (possible if you alone cant afford to help you can take up a collection for us from a source of your choice). Please for the sake of my kids try to find us some financial help for the holidays, it can even be in the form of gift certificates so you can be sure the money is going for the children. If you can help please send donations to Lisa M. De Molfetto 6 Maple Court Staten Island, NY 10312 You can e-mail me back and perhaps we can exchange phone numbers. I don't know anyone prominent to ask to help me, maby you do. Thanks in advance Sincerely Lisa, Stephanie, and Valerie

    Too bad I have a life and can't read all ten million sob stories. I just wonder how many IPs from posts above originate in Nigeria, how many people just need to get a job, etc. Some are legit, sure, but regardless, amazing how some fluke of a seach engine somewhere out there in the universe is sending pan-handlers here

    .. is probably pasted up in a Nigerian internet cafe.

    I mean, one's gotta be either completely stupid or just unable to comprehend that the subject of the original article will never read this page. And who'd really believe that the authors of the sob stories are really whom they claim to be, let alone decide to throw money at them?

  98. WTF Mate by JackTheRipper on Nov 26th, 2005 @ 9:49am

    Why do people tell you that they have 4 kids and no education and then expect you to feel sorry for them? Oh, that's right they don't have any education! Who's fault is that? I will give you a hint, it is the one person who makes decisions in your life... Give up? Of course you do, because you can't finish anything.

    Life doesn't always go as planned. Expect the worst, hope for the best. Begging is pathetic, you people have no shame and are a drain on the world as a whole.

    Remember that there is an immigrant that deserves to live in this country a lot more than you do.

  101. need sponsor by darryl arnold on Dec 11th, 2005 @ 7:55pm

    I am looking for someone who would be willing to sponsor my racecar or give me money to help fund my hobby. We only have enough money to survive. We never have money to enjoy life. I know there are people out here with medical problems, my son is one of them. He has epilepsy. But his bills get paid eventually and he takes medicine regularly. He is not allowed to have insurance. Because he has a "condition". But we manage. I would like to do things with my children, including the racing. But moneywise we cant. Any help would be appreciated. Especially here at christmas.

  102. Re: VERY NICE by Sheree on Dec 13th, 2005 @ 10:42am

    I would be a great person to help financially. I have never asked for help but I need it now. I am a divorced mother with three children and I also take care of my mom. I do work two jobs and seriously thought about finding another job but there just isn't enough hours in the day. I have fallen behind in my bills and now it is 12 days from Christmas and I can't even afford gifts for my kids.

    I know it sounds bad. I have tried to get a loan but my credit is far from perfect. Wish it was perfect because then I wouldn't be writing this.

    Well - it doesn't hurt to ask. I know God will take care of us but this has been a really stressful past year and I just want to get my bills paid.

    Thanks for listening...

  103. money by John Adams on Dec 14th, 2005 @ 9:24am

    Oh thank you soo much kind sir! I have long since moved out of my mother's with the help of the money you've sent me. Also I have ordered special shoes to correct my leg length problem so I no longer walk in circles on my way to work. However, I still suffer from cronic ear infections and the ointment I use to control them still cause the birds to swoop at me. But I have never been happier running from those silly birds, now I can atleast run for shelter in a straight line and I get to work a little earlier as oppose to being late. You truly are a Saint, and if there is anything I could possibly do to repay you please do not hesitate to ask. THANKS AGAIN!!!

    Contact the Armed Forces Mutual Assistance Program. They are more then willing to help, that is if you have not already taken them for some money. Also your local churches will help those with family overseas. Try these first before you make yourself look bad. I am sure your husband would not want you doing this.

    Let me start by saying hello. My name is marggie I am a single mother of 4 beautiful children. My baby's father was killed Sept11,2004 in Arizona .His name was Walter Stelling.He was a wonderful man/father .But that is now gone the hardest moment I ever had to face was to look into my children's eyes and tell them the man they loved and knew as daddy was now a angel in heavn.
    we do have a very small monthly income and some months are harder then others.I just pray someday we wont have to worrie about rent.
    It would be so much easier to have a home of our own.and I know you have gotten a ton of thies e-mail's .But I can only pray that maybe you could be the one to help us make this prayer come true.
    If you decide to help my family I am leaving my phone number and address for you to contact us.

    Sorry to hear about your loss I hope you realize that God loves you. He will make a way for you. You are treasured by Him so much. This season may you realize the treasure you have in His Son Jesus. Jesus will be with you in all things as your friend. He died and now lives to be friends with all who want a true friend. Jesus is God and is able to give you creative ideas, wisdom, fresh insights to problems you are facing and much more. Do put your hand in His and walk into the new year knowing you are not alone....."Leana"

  113. I wished upon a shooting star! by Patricia Symonds-Powell on Jan 4th, 2006 @ 11:32pm

    Here is my situation:
    Single mom for 16 years
    Daughter wants to be professional dancer but I can't keep up with her dance education.
    I have a 1980 mercedes, 300D with oil leaks, electrical problems, break problems, no heat or air and seems to have a new problem every day.
    After paying rent $1,375.00, I have nothing left. If I could get my car in working order or get a new one, it would be much easier for me to get more work. I don't usually beg but I stumbled upon this site and said what the heck, I can't lose anything because I don't have anything. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

  115. Wife needs surgery by Veronica Lawrence on Jan 8th, 2006 @ 2:11pm

    We need financial help for my wifes surgery.She has a condition called adhesion related disorder.It is scar tissue that developes after abdominal surgeries.Most people the scar tissue will stop but in my wifes situation it continues to grow and attaches to your vital organs.She has had 3 surgeries in the U.S. that didnt work.We went to Germany 2 times and had to pay cash because insurance would not cover it.I have totally drained my 401 K plan and have one loan from the bank that we are still paying on.My wife has not been able to work for 2 years and that has put us in quite a financal bind.She is only 47 and has no life.Please help my wife get her life back.We need about 15,000.00 for the surgery and the airline tickets.If you need more information about the surgery check out the Emma Clinic in Seliganstadt Germany or the Endo Gyn clinic in the same city.Thankyou for your consideration, Ron and Roni Lawrence Archbold Ohio
