David Koch, worth 44,200 million dollars, is donating literally millions?!? How generous of him to give away approximately 0.002% of his fortune here and there.

Please be serious. This comparison is laughable, the ≈ $300M listed on his foundation is literally 0.7% of his net worth.
- bobbles 11y ago..and who the hell are you to determine where someone donates their money??
- g_delgado14 11y agoor lack thereof.
- calibraxis 11y agoPerhaps you should not publicize press releases and webpages detailing money you allocate "altruistically", if you do not wish others to comment. (Throughout history in many cultures, people gain status by ostentatious gifts of wealth. Of course, that means you have to tell everyone of your benevolence. And as everyone knows, Koch uses his wealth — and shows like this — to wield enormous influence in politics.)
- scrollaway 11y agoGP wasn't determining where someone donates their money. GP was pointing out that putting the Koch brothers in that comparison is ridiculous given their net worth.
- hoorayimhelping 11y agoHow much of your wealth do you donate?
- adrianN 11y agoThe marginal value of money is small. If I had ten times as much money as I have now, I would stop working and travel a lot more. If then my wealth magically multiplies by another factor of ten, basically nothing would change.
