Zuckerberg donates 99% of shares in Facebook to charity

Let's just do some simple wealth spending math.

Mr. Zuckerberg is now 31 so let's say he's got another 50 years in him. Let's also say that he's worth, after the donation, $500 million. Now he's not going to just keep that in his mattress, so let's say he's earning a conservative 5% on that. Assuming for the moment that he earns nothing else for the rest of his life, for him to break even at 81, he'll have to spend roughly $330,000.00 every day for the rest of his life.

To look at it another way, he could employ 2,000 people at a salary of $60,000 annually for the next 50 years.
