He said he'd begun to grow tired of having too many expensive possessions.
"You collect Ferraris and then you've got to collect people to look after your Ferraris, and you've got to collect buildings to house the Ferraris," The Sunday Telegraph quoted him as saying. "Life gets very complicated. And eventually, at least in my case, you think 'I don't need this stuff.' And suddenly life gets simpler."

I guess you could call it "Corporate Downsizing", I suppose.

It's all just "stuff" we accumulate that eventually someone else will take possession of when we become worm-food. When you think of it, none of us own a dang thing. That's enlightening.. I wonder what triggered the change of heart?

Nice gesture.

that's quite a change of heart
