  I think it's mostly because think about how much wealth they are hoarding after donating, rather than the amount they are donating. Line of thinking is something like "Cool that you donated 1B but what about the rest of the 278B you have, what are you going to do with that?" Not saying it's wrong or right, just outlining how I think a lot of people think with this type of philanthropy.

    Why should i care how much they keep? Is it envy? Learning to focus on the positive things to be grateful about is something i fully recommend. Focussing on the negative is our evolutionary heritage and useful survival mechanism The the inviduals who did not got snacked by predators. In the western world it leads to depression and anxiety in individuals with a disposition i'd say. I think it is the reason tabloids and TV report so much about horrible stuff. Abusing fear sells. There is a website that only writes about positive things [0]. Got to actively remind myself to go there, worth it though. [0] https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/
