High probability OP would take a billion dollars, and still think themselves good. Lower than 50% that they would give it all away.

Tbh, most humans on this planet would push a button saying "kill 10k random people and get 10 billion in gold" and they wouldn't even feel remorse. Gates definitely didn't kill 10k people.

Lower than 50%? Id say lower than 0,1% no sane individual would do that, you would have to be pretty stupid.

I mean, Gates is working on it. and Chuck Feeney did it in one shot. It would normally be significantly lower than 50%, but I gave OP the benefit of the doubt given their stated opinion of the wealthy.
