Christopher Sawyer of Rollercoaster Tycoon fame?

Yes, one and the same. He converted Frontier: Elite II to the PC, his conversion was then used as the basis for the sequel Frontier: First Encounters and of course Frontier also developed RCT3 with Chris Sawyer acting as a consultant so his shares are likely compensation as part of his long history with Frontier.
Very interesting. We can say that he is part of the Frontier family
Looks like someone bought the "lifetime expansion pass" of everything FD is going to produce forever...
It must be good to have that kind of money...
Very nice way of putting it. Never thought of it like that before but that is exactly what any share purchase is.
Except that you can always sell shares on to someone else.
Oh, and as often as not they silently turn into a lifetime contraction pass when you are not looking...
