Suddenly_Dead Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 It just seems wasteful... he could donate it to charity or something (though the organizer people might always take a good portion and buy a mansion of their own). Whatever :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrDZ13 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 It just seems wasteful... he could donate it to charity or something (though the organizer people might always take a good portion and buy a mansion of their own). Whatever :wacko: he donates more to charity than any other person in the world last i remember just under 50% of his money (upwards of $30 billion) was in his charity's fund... keep in mind this guy can spend a million dollars every day and still have money left over when he is dead, 14 mil isnt much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Drunk Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 man, i wonder how much his kids get as an allowance?? man, i would love to be in his shoes for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah, just the other day there was a front page story about him donating $25 million to charity, so I think if he donates $25 he can spend $14 and not have anyone say anything. Whenever you donate $25 million or even $2,500 or hell $25 to charity, then you can begin to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 "Gates quietly spends $14mill" wtf do they want from him? hold press conference each time he buys something?! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 man, i wonder how much his kids get as an allowance?? man, i would love to be in his shoes for a week. He doesn't give his kids much money, and I believe their inheritence is only like, $1 million. He expects them to work for it, unlike, I dunno, the Waltons :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he plans on leaving several $million to his kids, who will probably be given hugely paying jobs because of his influence. I think it would be smart to ask them to work for their living, rather than just sitting around all day living off their father's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
