I (who am not the OP) would feel better if he gave the money to himself, then he used the money for charity. In the blog post, Louis states that money is "the money" not "his money," and that "the money" is going towards charity. What he should have said was "I am receiving 500k of "the money" to which I am giving 280k of it to charity" It's a semantic argument, but for some reason it means something to me.

Louis CK: 'I never viewed money as being "my money" I always saw it as "The money" It's a resource. if it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.' I don't think his point is that this money exists in some sort of limbo where it's not his, because however he views it, it's still his money. I think he's making a general statement about how he views money: as a resource to be used, not a collectible to be amassed.
