Frank, rather than implying criminal acts by people simply because they have money tell us some specific cases of "questionable practices". Trump and Musk are donating 100% of their government salaries to charity. And many many other very rich people give huge amounts of money to charities. For many, many years NPR and PBS were the benefactors of this largess until they grew so far left wing that they were attacking the very people funding them.
Elon Musk launders his donations through the Musk Foundation:

You might find the end recipients of his charitable donations to be
rather self serving. Also:
"Both the selection of recipients of donations and a relatively low
payout ratio have been criticized. In 2021 and 2022, the Musk
Foundation awarded less than 5% of its assets in donations, after its
assets grew to several billion dollars. This means that it fell short
of the legal minimum donation required to maintain its tax-exempt
status."
