From the article:

After taxes he had less than $4 million to call his own, which, as he put it, “ain’t sh-t in today’s economy.”

Well, geez. I'll take it off your hands, mister, if it's that big of a burden for you. You ungrateful bastard.

4M would be more then enough for my simple life and I would have plenty left over to do many good things for those in need.

What the hell is a "retired artist"?

The guy will end up a reality show. Of course he claims he does not like the fame.

Really. Give me $4 million and watch me make it work in today's economy. I'd never work again.

I would still work. I need the health insurance. I might be late a few days a month, but I would eventually still show up.

Why bother? It's usually cheaper to say you can pay cash anyway because the prices for insurance is pre negotiated, that's why if you go to the doctor with a high co-pay you can say how much would that be cash right now and it ends up being tons cheaper.

This should be a decent article, I just googled and skimmed
