I hear you, Mr. Monk escaped Hitler because he had money.
He was very fortunate to hit gold with Barrick and make a pile of dough......I guess he has figured out that he can't take it with him and is giving some away ( under his name of course and for a big tax write -off also I would imagine). Was it a gift or great tax planning...maybe both!!
I've always believed that the real givers are really not known...anonymous givers don't seek the limelight but have a personal satisfaction that is beyond reproach.
