His philanthropic efforts are what gets him a lot of fame, and a quick glance tells me he's getting way too much credit for them. It's not his money, it's his sponsors money (and in some cases viewer donation money), and he partners with existing charities and organizations that were already doing this kind of work without him. I'm sure he's pooled in his own cash (them sweet tax benefits are a nice bonus I'm sure) and got a project or two rolling but for the most part he's using other's money while producing and profiting off feel good band-aid fixes to global poverty and inequality, perhaps unwittingly propagating the myth that nice rich people and corporate charity are all you need as opposed to, I dunno, not letting them hoard all this wealth to begin with because it can clearly be used to help people.
Yes, I'm very fun at parties thank you for asking. It's hardly the worst thing though, and if it gets people to donate some cash to more organizations or his efforts bypass a really shitty corrupt local government that's good too. But it really distracts from the wealth hoarding problem IMO.
well I don't see
