      That’s reeeeeeally far from a billionaire. If he donated 90% and died with a million, he died with 10% so he had 10mil.

        Look things up before being pedantic about them.

        If you want to be pedantic about it he ackchyually lived off $2 million. Still gave away $8 billion to charity. (and actual charity, not “a charitable organization” that is mostly a tax shelter for the family’s wealth)

        His donations are estimated at $8 billion. The 90% figure is wrong, not his wealth.

      Bill Gates is much the same, he’s given away over half his net worth to charity at this point.
