| The "topic" is that a guy with countless bucks (I mean, just try imagining the numbers) has given away megabucks to charity. That's a topic quickly dispensed with unless we move this thread down to Philosophy in order to dwell at length on the moral aspect (which nobody so far has).
My take on it is that Buffett (like Gates) realizes deep down that all this money ultimately doesn't really belong to him, and has therefore returned it to its 'natural habitat'.
For me, that's on-topic.
