    The Lurie Autism Institute (LAI) will use artificial intelligence to analyze existing and ongoing research to develop new treatments.

    Ugh

    Maybe not as positive as it may seem.

      Not me, but I know his net worth is about $5 billion.

      This is the equivalent of the median American donating $350. (Going by a net disposable household income of $62,300, divided by 1.8, because some have both parents working, some don’t).

        You’re comparing someone’s net worth to someone else’s disposable income, which isn’t a fair comparison. What you are saying still holds true mostly but it’s best to compare apples to apples.

        Median net worth is closer to $200k. So just multiplying by 3, that’s closer to $1000. But median net worth for that age range is over 400k, so maybe like $2500.
