Though he has pledged to give away his fortune. So far he has given out $35billion. On things like curing malaria, as opposed to buying self-portraits and NFL memorabilia. I’d say his behavior is the text book definition of great.

"given away" to his charity, which He controls. It's just a different form of ownership.

He hasn't given away anything he's still the one spending it.

I believe ‘spending money on a grant’ is ‘giving away money’.

The foundation distributed $4bn through grants in 2018. See https://www.gatesfoundation.org/Who-We-Are/General-Informati...
