Yup. That's why such wealth can only really be controlled by the government. When you're that rich, even actively trying to give it away is difficult because the way the system is set up, you can literally make a ton of money by just having it sit in a bank.

Even giving the shares away isn't really giving away the money - it's just making someone else extremely wealthy instead.
