Your comparison is still flawed. Market cap is the value of the company in the eyes of its investors, which in theory factors in current assets, current profits, and future expectation of profits. You compared that to the net worth of a single individual, which accounts for nothing but current assets. That said, you weren't all that far off. Based on Shopify's revenue of $4.6 billion and an average household income of $67k, this is equivalent to a donation of $14.57. I still argue that the presence of this kind of negativity in every thread about corporate donations is toxic. Corporations don't donate to FOSS nearly as often as they should, and there's no harm in giving them some credit on the rare occasions when it happens. |
