College Student Uses GameStop Stock Gains to Buy Nintendos for Children’s Hospital
People have heard a lot about the Reddit users that made a bundle trading GameStop stock.
But here’s a side some haven’t see.
A 20-year-old student who made $30,000 trading over the last few weeks used his winnings to make a BIG donation to a children’s hospital.
Hunter Kahn, a mechanical engineering student at Cornell University in New York, bought six Nintendo Switch consoles and a bunch of games for the Children’s Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis.
“As a beneficiary of the recent events on Wall Street I think it is important that myself and others pay forward our good fortune,” wrote Kahn on Instagram. “These events have highlighted a lot of corruption and with this transfer of power it is important that we don’t become men in suits ourselves.”
It’s hard to know how much “power” was transferred via the trading on a single stock, but one thing is certain: if most men donated the percentage of their Wall Street winnings that Kahn did, there would be a whole lot more good done in the world!
“It was a better feeling than waking up in the morning and seeing that [GameStop’s stock price] was on the moon,” said Kahn. “I love video games. I know it would be terrible being a kid in a hospital with like no joy helping them through.”
Kahn hopes to one day construct spaceships for Elon Musk.
TO THE MOON.
