They give 1/3 of their very sizable income to charities. That's millions upon millions of dollars every year. What they do with the rest of it I have no problem with. BTW, they didn't buy the estate. Word is that they're renting it--mostly likely for a few months while they wait for the twins to be born.

Sorry, but when one-third of your income still allows you to pay for mortgages and property taxes on estates totaling over $87 million, I still think that's an absurd amount of wealth to hoard away for one family. Think of all the impoverished kids they could feed with the sticker price of just one or two of their homes.
(Btw, I am including the French chateau in that total since it hasn't been confirmed that they're only renting, and even if they are, they're going to be paying the mortgage with their monthly rent for as long as they have it.)
