If you came into a billion dollars tomorrow and had the opportunity to help so many people but kept it all for yourself you're already not a good person. You don't even need to wait a year.
If I came into a billion dollars I'd spend the rest of my time attempting to spend it helping people. I would expect the same of anyone else. Someone's going to inherit a billionaire fortune soon and just give it all away, at least thats my hope. Someone's gotta lead by example.
even fucking bill gates realizes that he can trivially donate hideous sums of money and not even fucking notice it, and it's the sensible thing to do even if you're a complete psychopath because it's good PR.
