> For instance he donated $690k to wildfire relief in Australia earlier this year. Every little bit counts clearly, but it's the equivalent of me giving 69 cents.

Nope: It's the equivalent of you giving $690K. The value of money doesn't go down based on the wealth of the one holding it.

It does. You think $100 isn't worth more to someone who's homeless than to Jeff Bezos? You're living in dream land.

It doesn't. When a charity receives $100, it has the same value to the charity than whether it came from someone who has $100 or $100 billion
