So he has pledged to give away 95%. But so far it seems like he has given very little, maybe 1%?

- burningChrome 10mo agoSo according to you there's some magical formula for when he has to give it all away? If you were him, wouldn't you want a lasting legacy? Something that your wealth effects generations over decades or even a century? Also, keep in mind he's already given away over $2B in charity, but even at 1%, that's still not very much for you?
- IshKebab 10mo agoYeah I would say 1% is not very much, even if it is $2bn. In fact, it's less because it's $2bn. Him giving 95% of his wealth away would affect his lifestyle about as much as most people giving 1% of their wealth away. Probably less. Him giving 1% away is completely insignificant. I guess you could argue he can't give away 95% now because he wants to maintain control of Oracle... which is fair enough I guess. But still, 1% is not very much.

- inemesitaffia 10mo agoBoo hoo. Misinformation is misinformation and it does no one good.
- colordrops 10mo agoYou must be talking about yourself, everything I said is easily verifiable with 30 seconds of research. Do some introspection - you are projecting.
- inemesitaffia 10mo agoOh I'm talking about you colordrops without color. CIA contractor, like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and more. Introspect my bung**** More than 0 is more than zero. In case you forgot where this conversation started from
- hamandcheese 10mo agoMy only point is that the parent post wasn't being misleading. No, 1% isn't much.
- k4rli 10mo agoMost of that is clearly going to his own charities for tax benefits.
