If you look at the history, this isn't the first time this happened nor is it the biggest single transaction.

Id say you have to compare donations date vs price of btc atm of donation then you can figure out what donations has the highest value

The first thing coming to mind is that 419 could be a 'secret message' somebody is sending.

Please google "419 scams" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Perhaps somebody thinks bitcoin is a scam and wants the message out there, in a subtle way.

Perhaps he wanted to see if anybody caught on to his joke ?

Or perhaps it's just the Nigerians thanking us for this new way in which they can do scams.

I am already waiting for a letter claiming I have inhetited 100 000 000 - one hundred million - bitcoins!

That's a transfer from my live wallet to the 17RTTU... address. It includes ad revenue from the last few weeks and donations from Donators/VIPs who needed unique addresses.
