"I was simply stating a fact that I found interesting. Do you have any evidence to back up your statement that " As a % of total wealth, no one donates very much" ? Your argument "I'm sure people would happily accept 0.0001%" is unclear. Are you saying that someone would happily take that percentage of this woman's net worth as a gift? Or are you saying they would accept that percentage as a donation? Or that they would accept that that percentage of net worth given as a donation is remarkable?" - Will Higgins™
