I believe Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire if she played her cards right, crushing everyone in her path and donating smaller amounts of money and doing only token gestures. Instead she works so hard for what she believes in, education and literacy. (Did you know her dad was illiterate? It drove her to invest so much in this cause.)

I really respect her.
