    Just a reminder, these donations go to his own charities as a tax deduction.

      If the charity itself is doing proper work, that makes sense tbh. I mean, if you had billions to donate, would you give it to some random ass organisation… Or set up your own thing to do things that you personally agree with?

        I would be utterly shocked if it was.

        Honestly, I’d go for the middle option: donate to existing charities that appeal to me. I don’t want to run a charity, it sounds like a massive headache.

    He should divide all the money on all the people that ever worked for him and give them each a piece.

    I’m so fucking sick of all these billionaires “pledging” their fortunes. “I promise to donate all my wealth when I die” then fucking do it you cowards, die already.

      I’m so poor, even a million would help.

        Oh I think a million would dramatically change the lives of 99% of the people on the planet.

      So selfish, he should give me a million, and then give 15usd to literally every single person on the planet (including himself).

        So selfish

        I’m practicing for when I’m a billionaire after he gives me a billion dollars this Tuesday.

    “Billionaire pledges” is the same vibe as “hopes and prayers” .

      Except prayers have a higher chance of changing anything.
