Finding it hard to give a guy any philanthropy credit when he's apparently spend hundreds of millions on personal luxury.

In a world where mere 10s of dollars can fund a medical intervention that change s the life of a poor child, having 4 megayachts is obscene.

Well what else are you supposed to do? Fly your private jet to Bali and then not have a megayacht sitting there waiting for you? There's no way I'm waiting a full week for them to sail over from the Maldives so I need to have at least two.
