I was going to say that sounds great and we won't eat him. Then I opened the link and saw that he's giving his money to the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation and is conditional on Bill and Milenda Gates still being alive and involved. Why do his charitable donations have to go to a different Billionaire?

Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation

It's a fantastic charity, and it funds a lot of other great charities. I'm very much not a fan of Bill Gates' career (I'm a diehard Linux user), but his charitable endeavors and recommended book lists are fantastic.

I don't care if the person running a charity is a billionaire, I care that they do a good job. He has made philanthropy his life's mission, and that's exactly the kind of person I want backing a charity.
