Its all relative. We don’t even exist in their world. Some of the rich guys may feel poor compared to the world they live in and the people they associate with.

If you have $1 and everyone else has $.25 you are richer than if you had $1 million and everyone else also had $1 million.

Granted they’ve worked hard for what they have (in general), but you would think they’d enjoy giving back and even have a sense of pride if they were dubbed the top-giver-backer. I donated about 1% of my net worth in 2013 and these guys have more to spare than me.

However, if I actually had enough money to give away, I would. All thing considered, I don’t.
