Williams could be earning more than $1 million a year doing tummy tucks, face-lifts, and breast enlargements in the United States. A friend told him he was "throwing away my career, that I can't change the world."
But he's never been motivated by money. When he earned $200,000 a year as a professor at a teaching hospital in Galveston, Texas, Williams lived in an apartment that cost $250 a month. He squirreled away most of his paycheck and now lives off his savings. Because he travels most of the time and is single, he stays with his parents in Boise, Idaho, between missions (and insists on paying them $10 a day). "I'm just not a guy who needs a new wardrobe every year," he explains.
Williams is multiplying his impact by teaching other doctors the nuances of his skill. "The Vietnamese mothers drilled something into me: that their children really suffer. Their suffering can be alleviated—but not just by me.
