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




So 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?


Yeah 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.


My only point is that the parent post wasn't being misleading. No, 1% isn't much.

Boo hoo.

Misinformation is misinformation and it does no one good.


You must be talking about yourself, everything I said is easily verifiable with 30 seconds of research. Do some introspection - you are projecting.

Oh I'm talking about you colordrops without color.

Most of that is clearly going to his own charities for tax benefits.
