Then, the man explained, there is the “problem” that your billions will only grow, often quicker than you can give them away, with interest and rising investments. “Being a billionaire is a lot harder than it looks,” the man said. A good example of this 'problem' is Mackenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos's ex-wife. She got $38bn in the divorce. She's given away about $8bn in the two years since they broke up. Her current wealth is worth about $60bn.
