How would you spend a billion pounds in order to do good? You can't spend it on yourself or your friends.

$10 million over five years to the Wikimedia Foundation, another $50 million to start an endowment fund for them. That leaves $940 million to go ... hmm. Similar sorts of arrangements for other small charities of my acquaintance, I suspect - enough money for them, not so much they don't quite know what to do with it.
