> Hearing MacKenzie giving away 4B of her 60B is not really impressive because you can live pretty nice with even 1B.

> If I made 300k (my yearly salary) / month for my entire life, I still won't have 1B.

It would take more than a millennium of making 300k a month to match what she gave in 4 months.

I cannot begin to comprehend how one could donate this much money in such a short time, it would require a lot of planning and execution. I think it's impressive from that standpoint.

I assume it’s quite easy to donate that amount, much harder to do so in a way that is effective for your goals.

This. Really impressive.

I am wondering more specifically what life experiences caused them to do this -- I assume they were not always like this and more likely an event triggered this less than sane behavior.
