Hunter Kahn is a mechanical engineering student at Cornell University who was full-on engaged in the GameStop stock saga. Kahn bought stock to prove "the big boys on Wall Street" wrong, and ended up cashing out with about $30,000 earned!

Well Kahn decided to pay it forward, and used his earnings to buy Nintendo Switch video game consoles for sick kids at Children's Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis.

Kahn wrote in his Instagram post, "As a beneficiary of the recent events on Wall Street I think it is important that myself and others pay forward our good fortune. These events have highlighted a lot of corruption and with this transfer of power it is important that we don't become men in suits ourselves."

ennifer Soderholm, president of Children's Minnesota Foundation, wrote in an email, "We're so grateful for this generous donation that will help bring joy to kids at our hospitals, especially during these challenging times. It's inspiring to see young people in our community choosing to give back and pay it forward."
