If he were really serious, he'd give away all that money over the next five years, not the next twenty. Chances are, he will die before then, and he's not sacrificing anything at all.

Bill and I are the same age. If I had his billions, I'd be in touch with his ex-wife for advice on how to give away lots of money.
