Yeah, Bill and his wife have been very impressive over the last several years with their focus on charity. I think his wife has been instrumental in getting him to see that all that money is useless if it just sits there. He's no longer the richest man in the world, and I'll bet the significant charitable contributions are why. It sounds like they have given half their fortune away over the last few years.

10Billion truly is a large contribution!
Really good to see that he is giving back.

Didn't someone post something about all "foundations" being corrupt?

Anyhoo, what is this shit anyway? Whoever these two are, they're just copying the Stephen and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has donated quite a bit to worthwhile charities, now this Bill guy wants to muscle in on the action. Shameful.
