To counter your actual point, they might have picked her because there isn’t another billionaire who gave away such a big part of their wealth at once. Bill Gates could have given away more over time, i don’t know really, but her giving away so much proves even with just a few billion you can multiple your wealth in a few years. I guess that has to do with the fact any one that rich only needs like >0,01% of their wealth to fund their extremely comfortable life.







Nice link, that part where your scrolling while seeing the billions going up takes like forever.
I clicked the url because you read your comment saying if they gave you $1,000 that would be 0,0001% of their wealth but that would be only true if their wealth was exactly one million. But we’re talking about billionaire, and if a billionaire would give you $1000 he’d give you 0,0000001% of their wealth. If they have 10 billion it would be 0,00000001% and if they have 100 billion it would be 0,000000001%. According to Forbes there are over 20 individuals with that kind of money.
