I had that realization of extreme wealth years ago. I bought a cupcake for a fundraiser bake sale for a school to refurb their gym. I found out about a week later that Melinda Gates was loosely affiliated with the school and donated $1 million for them to just build a new gym. (The donation occurred after I bought the cupcake)

I did the math and realized that the $2 I spent on the cupcake was a larger percentage of my net worth than the $1 million was for Melinda Gates.

I’ve since struggled with the quandary, who was more generous her or me.
