Isn't he literally the only billionaire who has been donating a lot over the years?

But yes, fully agree. There's no reason any person should be that rich. They're cause and symptom of a fucked-up system

McKenzie Scott (Bezos Ex-Wife) is doing what she can to get the divorce money to where it normally doesn't land, so if we eat the rich, i'd currently say she's off limits, pending good behavior.

How did he get to be a billionaire? By standing on the throats of others, he could not have created that wealth without harm.

Yes I'm not disagreeing

Absolutely not. I think others give a bit less, but they’re just not public about it.

Warren Buffet makes $5B annual donations to charities. He’s an investor, so if he gave it all out as a lump sum, he wouldn’t be able to make more to donate next year (and aside total received, many charities work better with consistent yearly funding)
