> a wealthy one who thought he would leave his fortune to MIT

A tangential question, so I apologize in advance but how did you build your fortune? I am curious if it was not through entrepreneurship.

for privacy reasons I remain non-specific and/or obfuscated about true facts of my life. However, after MIT and some entrepreneurship I did also study finance and that--along with lucky timing and my attraction to my own outside the box radical ideas and/or perhaps more luck--grew a modest nest egg into a large number of eggs in one basket.

That's so obfuscated that one needs an MIT degree to decode it :D

Anyway, I am happy for you my man! You have achieved something that most of us just dream of at this point :-)
