His Net worth 3 billion while the nurse is worth peanuts, is that the result of him being more generous?
You're confusing personal value (what you value) with social value (what society values). Money is based on the latter. This was previously covered in great detail in this article from December:
Making Money Consciously

Incidentally, I recommend the above article to everyone who hasn't read it yet, since it already addresses many of the issues raised here. I also devoted a whole chapter to the subject of money in my book.
