12 days, 1 million dollars.

And Louis C.K. details exactly what he’s going to do with the money. Most of it will go to charity with good chunks going to his staff and to pay back the costs of the production. As for his cut:

That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business. In any case, to me, 220k is enough out of a million.

And:

The thing is still on sale. I hope folks keep buying it. If I make another million, I’ll give more of it away. I’ll let you know when that happens because I like you getting to know what happened to your 5 dollars and bringing awareness to the bla bla bla.

So damn refreshing. And awesome that his experiment worked. All payments were done online through PayPal — even better:

No DRM, no regional restrictions, no crap. You can download this file, play it as much as you like, burn it to a DVD, whatever.

And I’m already seeing dumbshit comments like “Now let’s see someone who’s not already a millionaire do that.”

Some people just don’t want to accept reality, no matter how obvious it is.
