Money frankly is irrelevant beyond a certain point (and most of it is in the form of share holdings anyway).
I'd be more worried about the power/political influence these individuals wield. There is generally an incestuous coterie of the rich that one gets access to after a certain point, where the destruction of freedom is lubricated with champagne and caviar. Bildeberg/IMF/WTO/G20 etc. are symptomatic of such cabals of corporatocracies and their retainers in the state apparatus that wield power over the world.

There's the little issue of him having to liquidate his shares to put it into charity.

The world will soon be a much much miserable place.
