wow thats cool

He's going to do a load of good for the world, he has more money to help the worlds poor then any country. Many people had different views about him and the way he conducted his business, now he'll use his money and power for good, he'll go down in history as a hero.

Smart man!

Bill Gates is the mofo man

He is surely blessed for doing something like that... he is generous for sure!

That's awesome. It'll be great to follow the organization over the next few decades to see how much good stuff they do.....it's really amazing

GrouchyAdmin · 07-20-2006, 08:19 AM

Gates, for as much as I hated him for what he did to the business world (major geek tendencies here) is actually a bigger humanitarian than most that I've seen.

This money will be split up between 16 different groups; being that they are to pool their resources. Sadly, I don't think this will happen but more beurocratic tape.. my former roommate worked on various things in the lab, being a geneticist.. and they won't play together nicely.

Still, I do hope that the egos manage to check themselves for the good.

I think at the end of the day, Bill Gates will go down in history as being the most significant philanthropist to date.

Nice of him to donate all our money so well.

Alex From San Diego · 07-20-2006, 09:46 AM

To put it into perspective it is the equivalent of someone making 200k per year donating $1400.00.

Yeah but he's giving it to The Gates Foundation because he believes in what Bill and Melinda are going to do with the money.

Buffet mentioned if he doesn't donate his money (before and when he dies) then the gov't will take such a big chunk in taxes and he believes The Gates Foundation will do more good with the money the the Gov't will.

Right...but who's he's leaving it in control of?

I think that even further makes his point

Brandon99 · 07-20-2006, 09:59 AM

I think your math is off...

Bill gates doesn't make 50 billion per year like someone MAKES 200k per year. Gates' net worth fluctuates up and DOWN each year. But out of that 50 billion most of it is not liquid. I've always been interested in learning exactly how much actual cash Gates has because selling off his % in his various companies will be a SLOOOOOOOW process

blackfeet · 07-20-2006, 11:03 AM

as soon as i make 100 billion i plan on doing the same thing. LOL

Kimo · 07-20-2006, 11:37 AM

metoo, i am very happy with gates
