Money frankly is irrelevant beyond a certain point (and most of it is in the form of share holdings anyway).

I'd be more worried about the power/political influence these individuals wield. There is generally an incestuous coterie of the rich that one gets access to after a certain point, where the destruction of freedom is lubricated with champagne and caviar. Bildeberg/IMF/WTO/G20 etc. are symptomatic of such cabals of corporatocracies and their retainers in the state apparatus that wield power over the world.

There's the little issue of him having to liquidate his shares to put it into charity.

He could transfer shares to charities of his choice. No liquidation required of Bezos.

Universities, and I would guess charities as well, tend to liquidate their shares immediately to avoid conflicts of interest. Liquidating that many shares that fast would cause havoc in the markets.

This is why foundations exist; to hold accumulated wealth.

The Gate's foundation opening line:

> "we are impatient optimists working to reduce inequity"

Ironic considering that these foundations literally exist because of the consolidation of wealth and resources, aka, inequity.

And if the global trend of further wealth consolidation is any indicator, they're not succeeding.

The world will soon be a much much miserable place.
