To put this in perspective: If we go by Google's claim of his net worth being a bit more than 4 billion dollars, 50 million represents a bit more than 1% of his wealth.

For comparison, the median net worth in the US is about $120,000, so this would be like losing around $1200 for a regular person. Not nothing, but probably not ruinous.

Plus, there's the fact that, once you get beyond a certain level of wealth, any additional money ceases to matter very much, because there's a limit to how much you can practically spend even if you live very extravagantly. In other words, he's not going to miss that $50 million anywhere near as much as the median person is going to miss $1200.

(He's also an authoritarian shitbag who is on record as saying that he "no longer believes that freedom and democracy are compatible." But that's not directly related to this topic.)

Just adding on a definition for "biologic" from wikipedia for the benefit of others like me who aren't familiar with the term:

>A biopharmaceutical, also known as a biological medical product, or biologic, is any pharmaceutical drug product manufactured in, extracted from, or semisynthesized from biological sources
