Lots of misinformation, but that's kind of standard for a lot of reporting being done today.
My guess is that a lot of reporters--particularly younger ones--go to places like Wikipedia for background information instead of digging through far more reliable sources.
But I also agree that a lot of the erroneous information in this article appears to come from the subject himself, and that's kind of surprising, not to mention disappointing. I love that "worth a million dollars" bit. Not in his wildest dreams! I just hope that came from the reporter and not the subject, because such a statement would shoot his credibility to pieces.

I think this article has more misinformation from the source than from the writer this time.
