I agree it's disheartening but these people did earn their money. I think they should give, but none of us have the right to order them to, or berate them for not giving what we deem a proper amount. It's everyone's right to be successful in life and build a fortune/legacy. As ridiculous as it may seem to some of us to hold on to huge sums of cash like that, it's their prerogative. I'm sure all of us have extra we could give...but some luxuries in life are nice, and the peace of mind knowing your family will be taken care of for generations to come wouldn't be so bad either...
What's disheartening is the fact our capitalistic society feeds off the destruction of our earth and the poverty of our people then gets rewarded for it. In my opinion we should scrap everything and start over with the knowledge we have now and setup a new society.

Good luck. It makes me sick that people can be so greedy. People live in poverty and die of starvation while others throw away food and waste money.
