@stux I don't really find this surprising at all. All the billionaires "donate" to their own charities. It's a win-win. They can get the tax breaks while enriching themselves AND making themselves look good.
ALL billionaires are evil at heart. They make their billions on the backs of their workers, and are fueled by nothing but greed.
@benhaube @stux You do realize that his charitable foundation (or any other charitable foundation) can only give the money to other charities right? Itβs not like it is his to spend on himself anymore. It just shifts the tax break in time to his initial donation, rather than the ultimate donations. This isnβt a trick for only billionaires β there are constant ads on the radio to set up your own for $5000 or less.
