Of course, while he was generous and good hearted man, he wasnt very good at math. If he had donated and deducted $100,000 (give or take, depending on the year and the top marginal tax rate) the charities would have gotten twice as much and he would have the same net after tax, and the extra $50k would have really been partially his own money. He didnt get that "redistribution of wealth" thing.
Not really the point here. If the poor sod had a clue about finance, he'd have done a lot better generally wouldn't he? I was merely agreeing with UN's point that the contributions he made weren't an example of arse wiggling for the media which seems to be the case whenever a celebrity puts their hand in their pocket now.
