The math

The source reports more than $100M distributed during Eastman's lifetime and about $25M remaining to be bequeathed. Using only those sourced amounts, $100M ÷ ($100M + $25M) = 80%; because lifetime giving exceeded $100M, the observed rate is greater than 80%. This is a lower-bound benchmark, not a claim about total lifetime earnings.
