Anderson and his family, like many involved, got a lot of money thanks to some smart investments during the GameStop stock episode. For those unfamiliar, some time ago GameStop's stock price climbed when several online experts decided to artificially inflate it. This was done in an effort to foil a hedge fund banking on GameStop's failure, but its consequences were far-reaching. One of those consequences was Anderson and his wife making a huge donation to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in the name of them and their two-year old son. This was possible because they got out before GameStop started losing money again.
The donation in question was not money, but rather $15,000 worth of games and consoles. This included a large number of Switch and Switch Lite consoles, alongside some Amazon Fire tablets for kids. They even threw in extra controllers for the consoles, as well as over 110 games, all so that kids would have a good distraction while stuck inside a hospital. As a kicker, all of this was purchased from GameStop, with Anderson giving back to the company that made him a bundle and doing so to help a good cause.
