Everybody&#x27;s getting way too caught up in the structure of this pledge.  Yes, he could use an LLC as a way to accrue more wealth.  But it&#x27;s just as possible to use a registered charity as a way to purchase influence and avoid taxes.  Whether it&#x27;s through an LLC or a charity, the amount of good he accomplishes will be entirely down to his intentions and the effort he expends on his philanthropy.<p>It&#x27;s too early to judge.  This could be just pure good, it could be a tax dodge, it could be a PR move, or it could be good intentions that don&#x27;t get followed through on.  We won&#x27;t know until his foundation actually starts spending this money.
