Between 2010 and 2012, The New Yorker reports that "more than twenty million dollars of Zuckerberg’s gift and matching donations went to consulting firms with various specialties: public relations, human resources, communications, data analysis, [and] teacher evaluation." Many of the consultants were being paid upwards of $1,000 a day.
OK. So its the gift AND the matching donation.
That means 200 million total. So 20 million on consulting is only 10% - or 'more than' 10%, we are told how much more - of the total. At "upwards" of $125 an hour. That really does not sound insane or out of whack to me. I'm not saying the money wasn't wasted - I'm not saying it was, but spending 10% on consulting at less than $125 isn't by itself evidence of anything wrong.
