What are some potential challenges of advising a client with $60 billion in Amazon stock?

Some potential challenges could include managing the volatility of the stock market, as the value of Amazon stock can fluctuate. This could impact the amount of money available for charitable giving. Additionally, advising on how to distribute such a large amount of wealth in a way that aligns with the client's philanthropic goals and values can be complex. It would also be necessary to consider tax implications and potential legal issues related to large-scale charitable donations.

Question was asked on:

One area you might not expect to find consultants is in charitable giving. However, when billionaire McKenzie Scott gave away $8 billion in 11 months, she worked with a consultant firm called Bridgespan Group. Formed by three former Bain & Co. consultants, Bridgespan advises the Bill and Melinda Gates, Ford, and Rockefeller Foundation on where to donate their billions. Unlike those organizations, McKenzie Scott had some $60 billion in Amazon stock and no organization to spend it. SHe didn't even have a website to solicit requests for donations. With an urgency to give away as much as possible as soon as possible, she needed solid recommendations on where to give and fast.
