Sorry, this is a false assertion. Apart from some
established
wiki-mythology, is there any evidence that Jimmy funded Wikipedia out of his own
pocket
ever? He did not.
Wikipedia was funded by Bomis, a company that, as I understand it,
Jimmy (jointly) privately owned. Even if he didn't directly fund the
project, it was partially funded by his share of the profits from
Bomis. That's effectively funding it out of his own pocket.
