In other words

"I'm keeping it all."

That's then apparent sentiment of Billionaires committing to donating 99% of their wealth upon death (into a controlled 'foundation' rather that free and clear) . Offering it as a promise of goodwill to society...only not this society but a theoretical future society.

"I'll give it all away...later."

Another way to re-frame the commitment to  posthumous 'charity' is as follows: "I'd rather be dead than help people. After I'm dead I'll part with my money...and even then, only sort of"
