You might not remember how much you spent on a steak, but you will recall putting a quarter in a parking meter. It is the purpose of the investment, not the amount which makes it significant.

Fair point. I would counter in this form - he may not have even known he owned it until the media covered it. He has money with multiple managers. I think if he wanted to get ideological about it he would at least be a 13D/G filer (5% owner). His investment in this company was less than a rounding error in his net worth under the most magical profit scenario.
