This is an old man. Is it set up to destruct when he's gone? Same for the Gates'. All three are people of good character and some wisdom. Who comes after? It's the nature of organizations to lose their way and become increasingly self serving, usually sooner rather than later. At best they do little harm, if little good also. But these new ones of this size?

A whole class with wealth in the hundreds of millions and more is a grave danger to society. It will eventually destroy our government of, by and for the people if we don't dismantle it.
