I was listed as a billionaire, it pissed me off: Founder who donated US-based firm
Patagonia Founder Yvon Chouinard, who has donated his US-based company to fight climate change, said, "I was in Forbes magazine listed as a billionaire, which really, really pissed me off." The 83-year-old told The New York Times, "I don't have $1 billion in...bank. I don't drive Lexuses." Chouinard founded Patagonia 49 years ago and is valued at $3 billion today.
