Buffet has rescinded his giving in favour of leaving a trust to kids…who are senior citizens. If you cant stand on your own by then, you dont deserve to make it.
I don’t believe there is a spectrum at all. If you keep going to get to that level of wealth you have a fucked up mind. Most people would be content and stop.
Now I could see that if you make something and go from nothing to selling for a billion then maybe, but even then I’d want rid of most of that wealth as I don’t need that much.
Well if you just manage your money properly, it grows. I would argue it’s better to do that and give you money away rather than not manage your money properly. In the end, more money goes to good causes that way.
If they “stopped” that would mean leaving their money in a bank account sleeping. The only entity benefiting from this would be the bank.

His son recently gave half a billion to Ukraine, out of pocket. I get the impression they At least have their minds on the right side of history.
What would be great is if the trust is designed to be given to charities, rather than for his kin’s space flights. But they may do that anyway.
The other gave money so he could ride along with ICE
