As discussed earlier, wealth can be many things. What we do with that wealth is what is important. Are we seeking just to create more and more, as the bumper sticker says "He who has the most toys, wins"? Is it just a game? How does that fit into the bigger picture? Or, does that matter?
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48
It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
These passages remind us of the importance of philanthropy. If we can't give back to help others, what was the point? We can't take it with us. Not to mention the joy we can feel in the face of others as they show their gratitude. If you prefer the anonymous route, that doesn't diminish the gratefulness of the persons receiving the gift.
Make a difference, leave your mark in this life!
