钱太多也有会烦恼?那是一定的，起码阿里巴巴集团的CEO马云是这么想的，而且马云认为“花钱比挣钱难太多。”
据人民网报道，9月15日，马云受邀为北京大学公益管理硕士项目新生讲授开学第一课。
马云表示，“企业家的第一责任应该是把钱花在投资、创造更多就业和财富上，如果不先把这个做好，就把钱捐出来，反而没好处。”
8月份，天津发生化学品爆炸，有网友在微博上留言，“逼迫”马云捐款。
对此，马云认为，“一个人有一两百万很幸福，这是你自己的钱，有一两千万时麻烦就来了，要考虑人民币贬值、投资的问题。当你有几个亿、几十亿时候，千万记住这不是你的钱，这是社会委托你进行投资，这是对你的信任，是一种担当和责任。”
同时，马云指出，中国的慈善缺乏基础设施、法律体系和人才培养，捐款要面对很多问题。
