Ok. But when why not donate the tax savings to an org that can use it

Technically the IKEA Foundation (www.ikeafoundation.org) is that charitable organisation. And technically they do donate a bunch of money each year to various causes. Of course they're not the most transparent of organizations so it's hard to really judge their philanthropic efforts.

Maybe "Money doesn't motivate me" would be more accurate?

At the risk of trying to psychoanalyses a man know very little about,I'd say that "personal wealth doesn't motivate me" is probably the most correct statement. He obviously cared very much about his businesses and making them as successful as possible, and as such probably cared deeply about money to the extent that they're the 'points' used to judge who's winning that game.



Said better. Thanks. Words matters.
