I can't speak for Mr. Kaufman, but I imagine he shares this information publicly not to brag, but to encourage a new norm of publically donating a significant portion of one's income to effective charity.
He and his partner may have literally saved hundreds of lives with their contributions over the last few years alone[0].
What have you done for the world lately? For myself, the answer is: not enough.
