> I don't think you deserve more credit than anybody having a net worth of $10k donating $100
Would you also consider this something not to admire but require?
You're complaining about someone who does contribute back to society... seems somewhat misplaced/misguided.
That makes sense if you view charity/philanthropy as a signalling device or a measure for how generous and good people are.
Doesn't really make sense if you care about the actual good/contribution done though. Ceteris paribus, someone with net worth 100k giving 10k is doing more absolute good and helping more people than someone with net worth 10k giving 1k. Not to say small donations don't matter or aren't commendable -- they can definitely add up. But there is "more credit" given because the greater amount of money is (presumably) helping more people.
Well $100 isn't worth shit in the big picture, so no, contributing millions is objectively more useful than contributing $100
