A much better idea is not to allow people to have such an absurd amount of money. Instead of relying on their generosity, this way all could live well without worrying about not having the basics.
Having such money gives them the power to control everything, instead of using automation so nothing lacks, they use it to give themselves more power and money for no reason beyond “numbers go up”.
Anyone with a brain can see they are not special, this system is rigged and not meritocratic at all. We pay taxes to maintain infrastructure and again for these chosen rich to use it. Why? They didn’t invent it, nor any of their ancestors, they don’t know how any of it works. In fact, they steal from inventors and universities with the help of different governments or they use their money to prevent things from being researched or buy any competing companies and never even use the new technologies.
Development is stopping. I’ve met many of them and they are nothing but parasites, not once was one of them necessary for anything or helpful in any way, only the opposite. The majority of them don’t even deserve more money than the average person, no special abilities at all. It makes no sense.
Why are they even chosen to be rich? The most recent I know is Elon when the US government forced NASA to make a rocket company for him. Why do that? Why him? He couldn’t even be useful in his own company as they find someone to replace and correct the damage he did as CTO. Why people think he is a genius or self-made in any way is beyond me. But then again, none of them are.
There’s also this couple when the government made betting legal. They were well-connected, this is the only reason I can think of.

Giving to charity doesn’t exempt people from paying their fair share in taxes.
