You're calling him a businessman? Don't make me choke. The guy is a thug. A hustler yes... A businessman? I have a hard time with that.

I'm so over the usage of your thinly veiled code word. Just call him a n*gger already and shut the **** up. He's one worth 750 million dollars. Stay mad creature.

Do you know how many years he had Sean john before he opened up the store? A lot. He opened it as it was losing its popularity, and as you see he paid. Sean Jean was pretty huge in the early 2000's

Truthfully I don't have high hopes for this either, unless he hires some brilliant administrators with an excellent track record in education and gives them total authority in running the school. If he tries to run things without having any kind of track record at all (he's never taught, likely not up to date with the issues in education) it is likely to be an epic failure.

Zuckerberg, who also has no degree, gave a lot of money to Corey Booker's effort to fix education in Newark and it was a total disaster. Zuckerberg gave money towards a ridiculous charade for good PR,and the fact that he really didn't know anything about education showed. The money never touched teachers or schools, it was all spent on consultants.

I don't have anything against Puff Daddy or Zuckerberg. But successfully running a school or doing education reform is very different from being a music/film producer or being a tech CEO.
