I&#x27;ve never felt Mark was brilliant.  Would a brilliant man know what an average man wants, or really values?  I&#x27;m not knocking the guy, he just never struck me as being brilliant.
Maybe being kinda average is a blessing?<p>I&#x27;m am greatful these billionaires are giving away their money.  I&#x27;ve seen so many wealthy families who are absolutely misserable.  Why not give it to good causes?  His gift to his daughter is not monetarily spoiling her?<p>That said, I wish more would just give the money without any strings.  Set up the foundation, vet the BOD, and walk away.  Just because you are good in business, why would anyone think they are in any position to know how to fix societies problems?  Most of these guys gave lived most of their lives in a bubble.<p>On the other hand, I have yet to see a charity&#x2F;foundation that I completely trust.  The more I look into so many charities&#x2F;foundations; the more cynical I get.<p>I do like Mark much more today than yesterday though.  You made a great move Mr. Zuckerburg!<p>I hope your charity dies wonderful things.<p>(I didn&#x27;t even read the article.  I&#x27;m just assuming he&#x27;s actively involved?  If wrong, I applogiguse!)
