Pssst - Billionaires!
So you signed that giving pledge? Let me show you how you can give away a spare billion to charity, starting now, avoid estate and gift taxes, and get your heirs more than you have now, so they can build a family dynasty that will last for many years. Say you put $1 billion into a charitable lead trust paying 6.5% a year to charities of your choice or maybe a family foundation. After 20 years, assuming the assets inside your lead trust grow at 7%, your heirs will receive, free of estate and gift tax, $1.2 billion. Your family foundation, if it is the charitable beneficiary, will have received about the same. Now, your family controls all the money. The little people can support our foreign wars, pay off the deficit, eat dirt, and die. Your family will have it all! What is not to like? The little people will throw roses when you pass. And they get no say where your family foundation makes its grants! Good?

The concept outlined above requires that you consult your own qualified tax and legal advisor. You likely cannot control both the CLT and the grantmaking of the Foundation personally.
