not to offend - but what does she get in return of the power? like more fame that turns in to more money? i mean does it become an indirect source of more money thru influential contacts (thru newly attained power) ?... OR is it just plain recognition at the cost of huge money spent on the cause that may or may not give enough ROI (when I say ROI it means money, power, fame etc.)

Sorry but coming from 3rd world country I cant digest that smart people like Meg would spend so much money that is 100% risky investment...? or may be I'm wrong here.
