I would give my children way more that 0.01% of my wealth if I was in his shoes. I would raise them to be respectable stewards of my wealth so they can grow the wealth and continue giving to charity long after I'm gone instead of ending everything within one generation. |

But by default, I'd not want to put that burden on my children. In a perfect world (for me), I'd give them enough that enable them to do whatever they want, selfishly. I don't mean selfishly in the negative sense.. but from my perspective I'm giving them a gift. I want them to have a life without fear, worry, or struggle. If they wanted to live their entire life relaxed and on the beach, so be it - that's my gift to them.
If, instead, they wanted to manage billions of dollars, focusing on making money to give money like a non-profit, then great! But that's not a "gift" I'd give anyone, more of a job, from my perspective.
