George Lucas will be one of the biggest charitable givers ever when he donates his Disney billions, Forbes says. (via)
Disney is paying Lucas $4.05 billion in cash and stock for Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries. He plans to put most of the money towards education.
In other news, Mellody Hobson, who has been romantically linked with Lucas since 2006, has been named chairman of DreamWorks Animation. She’s been on the board of the company, which was co-founded by Steven Spielberg, since 2004.
I admire George so, so much for his generosity. A rich guy with his priorities straight, IMO.
