You mean like bill gates? The difference is bill gates spends a lot of time in great detail talking about what he believes in. Steve jobs otoh spent a wack of cash in 11987 on a famous graphics designer but that's it and the attempt failed. I find philanthropist tend to use their fame to raise attention and make a difference. Very few are 100% ghosts. Its all in the op article faniin80 complained about.

So instead of donating $1mm each year for example, why not keep that $1mm in your business, reinvest at a larger % ROI, then 10 years down the road you'll have multiple times more than $1mm to donate.
