I would pick the child because the philanthropists have already done such a great deal of good, the child has more potential to do so and hasn't yet had the chance to do any good (or evil, the smart ones can go either way). There is the chance that the child could turn out to be a little prick and it would end up being a bad decision, but the philanthropists have already potentially done so much and took up more of what life had to offer while the child has had a very limited scope of life thus far.
