Do you suspect that they are lying? I guess only time will tell. I sincerely, for the good of all of us, hope that you are wrong. But there are many wealthy philanthropists who have already given away the majority of their wealth. For instance, John Templeton and Chuck Feeney. And perhaps you're forgetting about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?
