If I gave you complete control over a billion dollars in a "charity", don't you think (if you were so inclined) you would be able to find plenty of ways to spend that money in a way that would benefit you?
I.E.- I might buy a house, and then have my charity buy a huge amount of land around it as an investment, to effectively turn my 1 acre homesite into a 100 acre estate
Maybe I'd have my charity teach at-risk children to ride horses, so I could build some nice pastures and have horses in my front yard.
Of course- the professional landscapers who my charity hires to maintain the grounds would probably cut me a pretty good deal on doing my personal estate as well, while they're out there
And maybe my executive assistant who runs my horse charity would pick up my dry cleaning now and again
