I recall that Buffett changed his plan when his wife passed.
He wanted to build it to the max and then let her give it away … but he assumed she'd live longer …
What I always find amazing is that so many of these folks amassed the wealth in totally different sectors.

If you were rich and gave away a lot of money , what tax issues arise ?
Not that I will ever have to worry about that .

Understood … there are some giving plenty now that will not get mentioned …
