The $55 billion + is a waste product produced by his lifelong love of mathematics. Seriously. Even Buffett would probably agree that there’s a societal problem where a single human can amass that amount of (unnecessary) wealth. Probably explains why he gives it away. For him the satisfaction is seeing his system win - not necessarily the dividends it collects.
Well to be frank, if he were born nowadays he would likely be seen as autistic because of his love for mathematics. He developed an early interest in the workings of stocks as a kid as his father owned a stock brockerage.
He always dabbled in small business ventures as a kid including buying a farm off his dad that ended up making him a small fortune as a 20 year old. He worked his way up in his dads firm as an investment salesman until he amassed enough to start his own firm. The funny thing is, he doesn’t spend much of his money because it’s mostly not liquid. He has a high net worth because he owns shares that he doesn’t access, and when he does, it’s usually for charity. He pledged to donate 99% of his wealth a long long time ago.
The problem is how he got that $55 billion to donate.

Do you work for Warren Buffet’s PR team or do you do this work for free 😂
Honestly isn’t that how most billionaires seek to portray themselves?
This person has fully lapped up the Warren buffet PR.
