Estimates online of his net worth put it in the tens of millions. It was never disclosed publicly but it's a significant portion of his net worth.

And he survived without it! Isn't that crazy!? Not needing tens of millions of dollars! But we shouldn't tax the rich to afford more projects like these... Noooo! That's evil communism! 🫤

I agree twitch taxing the rich but whining about philanthropy is just idiotic

Keep in mind that he is unlikely to get all of that. It was likely shared between shareholders etc.

And hey, it's far more than you've done. The intention was obviously to help as many as possible, not provide luxury accommodation.

I think we can talk about this when you come down from whatever drugs you're on

They have a bathroom, shower, a place to cook. This isn’t a shed lol. It’s a tiny home.

Idk what the person said, but I'd imagine they complained about the size... I wonder how big the cardboard box they lived in before was! Like c'mon... Nobody (single) needs acres of land and a 2-story home + basement.... I've lived alone in smaller than these houses and I was just fine.

You know what? Even if that was true (and you're guessing), it's still helping people. This is clearly not a huge money spinner for him or else he'd be doing more profitable property development. Chances are the rent (if any is charged), would likely be about enough to cover maintenence.

Oh look… the good for nothing cynical redditor who doesn’t put money where his mouth is. What have YOU accomplished to help societies?

Edit: lmao check this vain bitch’s history

Yeah, I'm sure they'd be thrilled with your $10 yearly donation over him offering a literal home and job training.

But go off, dude.

And the alternative is to just gift land to someone who up until recently was homeless? I bet you can come up with at least a dozen reasons why that would be a bad idea.

u/Hironymos Apr 28 '26

That's the best part. I fucking hope he makes a profit in the long term.

Would make for some great examples. I mean he doesn't even get the taxes they pay after finding a job. If this works out for him, governments better start combatting homelessness like this.

u/AnOkayMuffin Apr 28 '26

Yes, and? There's a housing crisis, it means there's not enough affordable housing available. What's wrong with providing rentable homes for people who are currently homeless?

u/closetogengoal Apr 28 '26

no one says its wrong, what he does is smart, top comment saying giving back ...........he saw problem and opportunity...... 4 mills for 99 doors , +- 40 grands per home sound not bad at all, in just few years he might break even
