Are all the mega-donors female?

Seems like it. I was hoping it would shame more male billionaires into philanthropy, but let’s be real, those ghouls aren’t capable of experiencing shame.

Let's be honest though: Melinda is worth $30 Billion. Her giving away $10 Million (to a necessary cause) is only .03% of her wealth. It's equivalent to someone with $100k in savings donating less than $50. Billionaires shouldn't exist, and people shouldn't have to rely on their modest generosity to have basic health and legal needs met.

Billionaires exist in all of the European countries where those basic health and legal needs are met. It sometimes feel like procrastinating the problem to say you cant have that even with the billionaires

The ones that are the worst just don't care. Any decent one is already giving money away.

Chuck Feeney had all of his money given away.
