This is pretty cool, but it's interesting he doesn't mention how his wife feels about the plan. :)

Only because the article mentioned him traveling with her, and then didn't mention her again. I'd have said the same if the roles were reversed.

Just admit you're a misogynist.

Kinda. I agree that money's not going to make anyone happy, but this guy just seems to be lacking creativity about what to do with it.

One of my favorite quotes comes to mind:
And if some fortune or trick of the law (which turns things topsy-turvy no les than Fortune herself) should transfer this heap from the heir to the lowest lout in the whole household, the master would shortly enter the service of his servant as if he were a mere adjunct and appendage of the coins.
~Thomas More

Maybe this guy wanted to demonstrate that he wasn't just his money. I disagree with his methods (place the money in trust if you want to remove yourself from it), I understand his sentiment.
