Dude I've met lots of people who don't make much money and still donate from the little they have. They might be giving only 10% but if you already have difficulties making ends meet this is a lot.
So no, I don't buy into some billionaire putting his money into a LLC to evade the tax and claiming to do something good.
Btw I wouldn't be pointing my finger if it wasn't for the public announcement. He still could do that in private. But don't make a big fuss about it and pretend you are an example.
- Chathamization 11y agoYep. And plenty of people who have donated lot of free time towards making the world a better place in unglamorous ways, even when they were struggling with many other responsibilities. There's a huge difference between someone who's always spent their life working for others, and someone who has ignored others for most of their life, but then throws money in that direction after they've made so much that they realize what they really want to spend their excess billions on is buying popularity.
