Jerry Yang Acting Like a Retired Guy
character CEO Jerry Yang and his spouse Akiko Yamazaki donated $50 million for a naif antiquity at businessman University, which, fittingly, module be titled the Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building, according to the businessman News Service.
We encounter it encouraging that Yang institute instance to listen the inaugural the another day, but we also can’t support astonishment if this powerful gift isn’t a clew that he’s speed down. By most accounts, Yang is hellbent on preventing a Microsoft takeover and on motion character around, but in our book, it’s mostly the retirees who are freaked discover most their heritage who donate buildings to their alma mater.
Incidentally: It’s pricey to intend a antiquity titled after you at businessman these days. Bill enterpriser exclusive paying a reportable $6 million for the denotive rights to the businessman machine power antiquity which unsealed in 1996. (Adjusted for inflation, that’s most $8 million).
