I don’t know, what particularity impressed you about their foundation?
I used them as a contrast with leaving money to non-alleviating-suffering causes (Trump letting his children inherit it) or speculative-future-suffering causes (It’s probably easier to convince someone to leave their money to a charity gets results today rather than one which tries to increase the chance of getting results tomorrow).
It’s not really important to my point whether they are an effective charity or not, just that there aren’t many single organizations with enough scale to handle Warren Buffet leaving all of several billion dollars to, and there aren’t many examples of a Bill-Gates-rich person doing something quite like that.
