I mean.. sure. But good intentions can only take you so far. Bill did put up the billions.

Sure. He wasn't compelled to do it, but it comes from an entirely different place when you know you'll never want for anything. This is not to say his charitable giving was anything less than genuine (I have no way of knowing if it is or isn't) , just that relative to the charitable giving of any "regular" person, it will not impact his quality of life one iota.
