Even if they gave half of their fortune they will still be rich, but no we need 9 yachts and private islands.

To be fair, I would have a hard time giving billions away. I don't have any, and I probably will never (except if an event of hyper inflation happens), but that's just a technicality.

Not really but having the report is handy to counter those “at least they’re donating half their money, what have you ever done so impactful?” mindless drones on reddit and hackernews.

That’s 247 billionaires we could have put in the buffet. Never trust a billionaire. Eat them at first opportunity.
