He likely won't notice the $40M.

What an outrageous post. You do realize that if he were going by your standards, and donated 6.2% of his net pay, he would have had to have earned over $645 million to give this $40 million away? $40 million is hardly chump change. I find it irritating that some people just seem to give to charity so that they can thumb their noses down on those whom they deem to be "less charitable".
