It's not really the "giving money away" part - though I would note that there are ways to spend it (like a floating sea palace or something). It's that the Gates Foundation is successfully getting things done. At least, that's the impression I get after reading their annual letters. It's not a typical charity where it's all about helping people today (giving out food, medical service, etc.). It's about changing things so things will get improved. So things like bringing in new types of crops to Africa - that kind of thing might make a real impact forever. And even more interesting is that his money isn't enough. He cannot buy solutions to these problems. 50 or 100BN just isn't a ton of money on a global scale, to e.g. immunize a billion people.
