If telling people you were going to do something was actually doing it, we wouldn't need contracts
And he's actually doing it, so what's your point?
How do you know? Has he shown you his bank statements?
The information you're looking for is accessible. I don't argue with people who say Bill Gates doesn't donate much money, either.

I haven't seen Bill's bank statements, but I believe he does donate for the same reasons I believe Sam does.

Because the Gates Foundation publishes its returns? https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/financials

Sam's primary motivation to generate money is to fund Effective Altruism.
