Didn't know that, a bit odd that they don't make a thing of it but is
that because of a belief system and just "what you do" so to them it
isn't anything "odd"
(wikipedia has 2004 numbers - $2.1b profit, $72m to the charity, $6m to
the family, rest back into the company.

11 year old figures though, what are the intervening years like?
