It beats relying on politicians to dun their business and use the funds to buy votes.

Quiet donations are good as are noisy ones. A donation is a donation and even if they are made for publicity purposes they still cost the donor money.
And noisy donations draw attention to the cause the donation is made to.
I admire any wealthy entity or person who donates money to a worthwhile cause even if self-serving on some level.
Be interesting if Bezos donates his brain to the BezosCentre
Would we construe it as putting your brain where your mouth is or massive egotism.
