Ari
Goldberger is one of the best-known attorneys
in the domain industry and also one of the best men
I have met in any industry. You won't find anyone
who is more generous with his time, talent and treasure.
Ari showed that quality again this week when he spent £60,000 ($123,414)
to win a charity
auction for a giant hand-painted guitar
autographed by former Beatle Paul McCartney. Goldberger bought the guitar for the sole purpose
of donating the unique collectible to London's Ormond
Street Hospital at a December 17th Christmas
event for children hospitalized at the facility.
McCartney plans to be there to meet Goldberger in person
when he makes the donation.
Sir Paul said "I'm really amazed
and very happy that the guitar went for so much and for such a great
cause." Several other autographed guitars were sold
at the Gibson GuitarTown auction, raising
more than £200,000 that will be split
equally between Nordoff–Robbins Music Therapy, The
Prince's Trust and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
