How can you possibly say it's just a vanity opportunity? Not everyone has an alterior motive for donating. Would you rather he just keep all his money which he could quite easily do?

Quite simple, he held a press conference to announce the donation as shown in the original post. And no he couldn't quite easily keep all of his money, if he didn't donate to charities then he would pay it in taxes.

Essentially, he donates in place of taxes, and holds press conferences so people like you will praise him. If he would donate anonymously, it would be a completely different story.

Quit spreading lies.  Bill gates is for a tax hike on the rich.  So he CAN PAY MORE TAXES.  You obviously don't research before you post.
