So now we're on the haircut again. You can still help the poor and get an expensive haircut. Him and his wife claim 8.6% of their income as charitable contributions. My mother gets expensive haircuts and is by no means wealthy. She states "that's the only person she's found that can do it right". She also donates all her used clothing to Goodwill. Oprah is very wealthy, and I'm sure has an expensive hairstylist (among other things) but she does much for the under-priviliged of the world. To me, you can't equate one with the other.
