Really? Bill Gates has made tons of strides towards reforming education and improving healthcare. It's not that he's just rich he devotes his time to the his foundation.

It's really sad how people can still be cynical about such a great thing.

I admire Bill Gates for his efficiency in spending charity money. He really thinks about where it is needed the most.

If someone has to be obscenely rich I'm so glad it's someone like Bill Gates.

until today bill gates has donated about 40 Billion dollars to charity, which is almost two thirds of his current fortune, had he not donated this money, he would be about three times as rich as the second richest person in the world.
I can just image the look on the researcher's faces when they found out they would receive that much money.

"No Charles, we can NOT afford another of those machines, they cost almost 500 grand and we are already 200 grand in debt.
Oh, look, another donation...."

Could at least have donated 1 billion to TSL to increase the hype.

But really amazing donation; and much needed!

Whoop-de-fucking-doo. Guess what kids: he can afford it. I for one am not going to pay obeisance over such an ostentatious act of "generosity" by any goddamn multi-billionaire.

It's all relative.

You don't see billionaires jumping to give away money.

I think its a bit stupid to give it solely to one charity.
I would personally like it if it was more diversified.

But then again, I didn't make 10 billion $ so what the hell do I know.
Thanks Bill nonetheless : )

You have no idea how much the Gates Foundation donates out to charity. Bill and Melinda gates are known for being very generous philanthropists.

They were just trying to make their majority demographic feel better.


I'm pretty sure that's not the correct answer to charitable acts. It goes along the lines of "That's really great!"
