I watched his commencement speech, and he certainly has better ideals than the other Ruin The Planet For A Buck billionaires.
But a billion is a billion. Tax it away, there are far too many people that need that money, desperately, for one to hoard it with no plans to do anything with it.
How’s he even supposed to live if his wealth falls to $200 million dollars? He’d have to live like a peasant.
Like if he was spending a million dollars a month with that little money, he’d be out of money in… well, never. Because he’s still be spending interest and making money…
That’s the thing. Imagine you are someone that pisses away 150 million dollars to shoot yourself and your brother-in-law into space, and you can do that every day for the rest of your life and it doesn’t even make a dent in your fortune - what on earth (or just outside) do you need it for?

He can just give away $2.5 B and still be a billionaire.
