That's not true. He has already given away perhaps 6% of his total
lifetime worth. How many ordinary people have given away $100,000?

What about % of income above the level to comfortably sustain an
individual/family? Someone earning $50k a year giving 6% is digging
deeper than someone earning $500k giving 6%, at least potentially.
