He could just not take the money in the first place, then he wouldn't be burdened with giving it away. The fact that he wants to get it in the first place belies his real intentions.

#6Anand Giridharidas's book, "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World" is an excellent commentary on this state of affairs. He particularly takes on the act of massive charities (Gates, Buffet etc) because the acts by which a few individuals make a lot of money are precisely the ones that have screwed up society so bad. We should not look at philanthropists so kindly.

#8i dont think people care where his money ends up when he dies
people probably care more about how he gets that money, and what he spends his life doing

As far as I know early employees made out like bandits at Google, Microsoft, etc.
Even the later employees did.
