If my assets were valued at, say $200000, I would have to donate $200 to Charity to record the same percentage as Bill Gates has donated of his $50 Billion fortune.

that 50,000,000 is tax deductable... at least it is in canada... either way, good to see him help others... at least he's not like the cheap ******* actors that ask u to send them money for the NYC tragedy but not give money to the cause themselves

Yea. So many people see Bill as an evil and all person, but honestly he DOES make a lot of contributions to charity.. it's scary. He's a good man on the inside, just doesn't seem like it cuz he's 100000x richer than what we consider a "rich" man... what does he do with all his money? Sure... he DOES own a massive mansion:

he usually gives provincial/state governments millions to improve communities without access/much access to computers by giving the governments money to set up free internet access places (like in libraries) n he gave our provincial gov like 100 million or something a few years back since this province has alot of communities that are too poor for internet access (mainly up north)

It continually amazes me how many people seem to think that Mr. Gates has "Money." While I'm sure his liquid assets are considerable, most of his wealth is not currency, it's stock in Microsoft. It's not like he has a HUGE vault full of gold bars . . .

I think that his donations are fabulous. He gives substantial amounts to causes that everyone else seems to forget. While everyone seems to donate to Jerry's kids or the latest life threatening disease, Mr. Gates seems to donate a lot of money to life pursuits. It's easy to be moved by a tragedy, and open our wallets out of sympathy. It's much harder to be so giving when your dealing with people who are simply less fortunate.

Say what you will about Mr. Gates. Berate him, knock his company and his products . . . but do not discount him. He does more than most of us do . . . and I don't mean in volume . . . I mean philosophically.

I mean really . . . when was the last time you just gave some of your money away?
