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

Ah, philanthropy. When you really want to fuck shit up, while keeping a clean facade.

The only 'charity' billionaires ever give is money they would've had to lose anyway, and almost always exclusively to themselves. Said donation either funds political causes to directly benefit themselves, goes to an organisation who can then do whatever at the billionaire's whim, directly advocates for their other business profits, pays them or their family/friends excessive amounts, and is all donated so as to pay no more than they would've in tax anyway.

Can he donate like one billion to me first please?

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

It's as simple as his new wife wanted a foundation, just like his old wife had.
