Billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller has successfully undergone his sixth heart transplant in 38 years at the venerable age of 99 years old.
The heart transplant surgery, which lasted 6 hours and was done by a team of private surgeons at his principal residence, on the family estate in Pocantico Hills, New York, doesn’t seem to have tired the legendary business man known for his dynamism and cunningness.
His first heart transplant occurred in 1976 after a dramatic car accident led him to suffer a heart attack. He was operated 24 hours later and up and jogging a week later.
David Rockefeller will be resting for the next weeks in his Hanuatu Island complex after he successfully underwent his sixth heart transplant in 38 years at the venerable age of 99
The 99-year old man allowed reporters to ask him a few questions only 36 hours after the operation, a testament to the sturdy health of the American icon.
«Every time I get a new heart, it is like the breath of life is swept across my body. I feel reenergized and alive» he told reporters.
Asked about the secret to his longevity, Mr Rockefeller explained a simple life is the way to go.
«People often ask me this question and I always answer the same thing: Love life. Live a simple life, play with your kids, enjoy the things you have, spend time with good loyal friends» he acknowledged with a kind smile.
«I’ve made a lot of money in my life, but I’ve given most of it away. There is no point of having if you can’t share» explained the renown philanthropist.
The man that has also had two kidney transplants in 1988 and 2004 is still extremely positive about his health and hopes to live up to 200 years, he told reporters jokingly and in good spirit, only hours after his operation.
we are still waiting…
Yes we wait.
Whit money you can get everything first.
Let the poor wait !!
Exactly what I thought your insurance would deny it on age alone.
at his bank account level, you self- insure and when you want a heart you o.k. a heart, you pay for a heart and you get a heart. there is no ins corporation involved.
note that the operation was in his home. not everybody has an o.r. @ home!
don’t you eat everyday even if more than half of the world’s population can’t?
That’s the point. work hard and get lots of money and get suff first. Be lazy and poor and get nothing.
Youre fucking ignorant
If it took only hard work, the poor and the rich would have traded places long ago…
He didnt work hard his great grandaddy manipulated the system in his favor.
It is such hard work being an entertainer or a bankster criminal. Glad they have all the money and people saving lives and educating our future generation are on the streets or living check to check.
If getting money was the inevitable consequence of hard work, every mother in Africa would be a billionaire…and every migrant worker, and every sweatshop worker, etc. Idiot.
Yea i think you’ve seen a lot of hollywood movies 🙂 Streets are full of minority people from all races like yourself having the same thoughts… And I couldn’t have agreed with Hugues more.
If working hard got you a lot of money then every black woman in africa would be a millionaire.
There is no logical relationship or proportionality: do not be lazy not have any direct relationship with wealth. Open your eyes friend, you are mistaken.
yes get water for your family and get lots of money
To all you freaken cry babies. My family didn’t do anything to change my future. I worked hard (no college) joined the Marine corps. Served my country and never asked for anything in return. Now I’m happy self reliant and wealthy. It all came from hard work sacrifice and goals. So stop hatting and learn to sacrifice daily. In the long run those sacrifices pay off.
your an idiot…
I agree with yuhi. Work and get what you want/need. If you’re lazy, don’t expect everything given to you.
so you are saying that rich people work harder? thats not the case at all…
The secret becoming rich is… make others work hard and take their earnings. like the fuckin rockefellators
Yes, it does take hard work but it also takes brains and education and risk-taking with knowledge of the risk, identifying a need and then fulfilling that need and sometimes a little luck. Obviously it takes more than just hard work but that is still the foundation of success. Everyone’s definition of success is different: to some it is to have enough money to raise a happy family; to others it’s to be at the top of their profession (regardless of what that may be); to others it may be to be rich.
Just don’t assume that hard MENIAL work will get you riches. You have to have intelligence and the drive to use it.
Of course ! Anyone who works as hard as this man, can become a BILLIONAIRE. But no one in the world worked harder than him, right ? So no one reached that kind of wealth. Logic, obviously, he has a lot of money, meaning he worked so hard.. that .. he worked like billions of times harder than the average working guy in constructions or whatever, that earns little to nothing.
Working hard and being rich are 2 different things. One has nothing to do with the other. David rockefeller has NEVER done a days work in his fucking life.
simple-minded, knowing-the-world-only-by-textbook-from-school, fucking dumbass bitch
It has to be warm and beating very fresh. Murder was surly involved in these.
My thoughts exactly!!! Crazy to think that someone can wait and wait, for just one heart and never get one, yet, he’s gone through 5, already and now on his 6th. Not to mention it was done by private surgeons in his home??? He wouldnt qualify for a heart through normal channels, based on his age alone.
The world is for the rich,is so clear, money talks.
Probably one of his workers that was undocumented. I have never in my life heard of anyone having that many transplants
No doubt.
Probably six “volunteers” kindly offered their hearts.
He led one heck of a pious past life!!
Sounds more like human sacrifices. The body was probably warm with the heart still beating in their chest right beside him when he received it in his private O.R.
