That's very generous, but I think the bigger story is that they were able to amass that fortune by underpaying their employees. I'd get more warm fuzzies if they made less and their employees made more. Maybe some people wouldn't need all that charity if some didn't hoard it all to themselves.

Money like that is mind boggling, I can't get my head around it.  I've read about that pact but I don't know exactly what it means.  I don't think it means the pact members immediately gave half the fortunes away.

I don’t care how the $$$$$$ gets to those who need it.

Why is the mental state of the donor a concern? 

The end result is the same.
