this is clearly reductionist. you can inherit that money and then utilize it effectively by donating it without destroying your ability to raise more money for donating. donating all your money means you have no investments to raise more money for donating. governments don’t do this, their goal is to spend taxpayer money to make the world a better place, while billionaires can only do the same if they keep an income stream.

But billionaire kids do not do this. Warren Buffet is still alive too.
Another nefarious motive would be tax writeoffs to purchase goods at one of his own companies.
Never ever ever ever give a billionaire the benefit of the doubt. Ever.
