and while it's good that the money is going to charities, i just don't get the philosophy to leave that much money behind and not enjoy it before you die. as jd001 said-- most charities piss away money pretty easily, so while the money appears to be be going somewhere good, it's not much better then if he had just spent it and enjoyed himself.

Most? Citation needed on that one. Yes, there are charities that misuse money but that doesn’t mean most.
Even if 50% of the money makes it to social work (the guy was a social worker), that group has benefited enormously compared to him blowing it on material things. How do you know he didn’t enjoy himself? Lots of people have fulfilling lives without spending a ton of money. He was driving a pretty fun little sports car... it wasn’t like he was rolling in some 30 year old malaise era heap.
