I did it at 17.
I fed two families and then four and I got hooked on it.
And then I got my little company involved.
And then we got to 2 million people and then 2 million from me and 2 million from the general public.
And
Then when I was writing Money Master the Game, I interviewed Ray Dalio, Carl Icahn, Warren Buffett, all the best in the business.
And I saw at the same time, I'm interviewing these billionaires, that the government cut food stamps, now it's called the SNAP program, by six, I think it was $6 billion.
It means every family that needs food would have to go out with one week of food unless people like us step up.
So I called my foundation.
I said, how many people have I fed in my lifetime?
Because I didn't know the number.
They said 42 million.
I was like really gratified by that.
But I also was saying like,
what if I did what I did in a whole lifetime in a year?
What if I fed 50 million people in a year?
And I was like, what if I fed 100 million?
What if I fed 100 million for 10 straight years and fed a billion people in the United States, richest country in the world, but we have about 20 million people that don't know where the next meal is going to come from.
And I hooked up with Feeding America to deliver the food.
And I'm proud to say we did it in eight years.
