Hats Off To These Rich Guys

"Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is to donate about $37bn (£20bn) - most of his vast personal fortune - to Bill Gates' charitable foundation."

This is really a beautiful thing.

Agreed!

I saw that this morning. I thought it broke down to about $30 Billion to Bill Gates, $3 Billion to Buffett's deceased wife's charity and about a Billion to each of his 3 children's charities.

But anyway you slice it, Bill Gates charity is very rich these days :) Or, it will be next week.

I wondered this morning how this would effect the Forbes Top Rich People. Both these guys should drop considerably.

I wish I could do the same. |violin|

Yeah, yah gotta respect that. Amazing.

Huh, these people are truly rich, but as you said, kudos for their noblemindedness.

The interest on that money generates 157.00 per second.. which translates to 9420.00 per minute and 565,200.00 per hour. I wish warren could give me 1 minute of his interest time. :D

The now expanded gates foundation is larger than the GDP of 187 nations, would keep the UN operating for 5 years, and is bigger than all of the combined budgets of Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas for the next 20 years.

and maybe they will find a cure for aids.
