> having promised to give away 99% of it

That really feels like the emptiest of promises. "Oh, I'm going to give away all my money once I'm done living my life of impossible excess". They don't get points for that. They could give away a massive portion of it RIGHT NOW and be able to live in the exact same excess, but they won't. I won't give them credit for future promises that cost them nothing to make.
