Why John Piper Isn’t a Millionaire

Yet another reason why I respect Piper, and enjoy his books, sermons, resources and conference content for free: Why John Piper Isn’t a Millionaire | Denny Burk:
Piper says that he gives away all of the copyrights to the books that he writes to the Desiring God Foundation. So he gets none of the royalties from his books. Why does he do this? Because he knows he would be a millionaire if he didn’t, and he doesn’t trust his own heart with those kinds of riches. For Piper, the issue is not how much money you make but how much you keep. He is apparently keeping very little.
