That's a very selfish take.

For folks with the ability to make truckloads of money and then give it away to good causes, that is going to be the best choice v trying to add value in the world to make themselves feel better.

That is some logic twisting there.

Make it? Like actually invent and build stuff? Or just harvest money from others because you have the capital?

It's not logic twisting, it's just acknowledging the difference between doing good and feeling good.

As for "harvesting" - call it what you want - he is taking a truckload of money out of the financial system and giving it to worthy causes.
