I suggest you read up on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Warren Buffet's "Gift" to the foundation, lists of total endowments of charities, and audits of this transparent Foundation's accounts, Annual Reports, Annual Tax Returns, Grants and committments (specifically look for things like "Global Health" contributions).

This may help alleviate at least some of your misplaced cynicism.
