Yeah I hope he made enough money to stop.

I'm not saying money wasn't a factor in his decision to do this for a livestream, but it clearly wouldn't be the only factor and I doubt that would make him stop. (He free solo'd before, without cameras, although not this building).

For people like Alex, it's much more about the thrill, the experience, and 'proving' themselves than it is about money.

He didn't have kids when he free soloed the mountain.

I think NYT said their sources claim he was paid mid 6-figures? Which is really shitty of Netflix. If I were him I would've asked for at least $5M.
