He isn't sacrificing. The $100 million will shortly be recovered by his investments. This is about as monumental as someone here donating $500.
In any case I can tell him what needs to be done for $0 - consume less
No change will come unless everyone sacrifices.
- giarc 8y agoFrom wikipedia. How long will it take to recoup his $28 billion in donations? "In 2007, its founders were ranked as the second most generous philanthropists in the US, and Warren Buffett the first. As of May 16, 2013, Bill Gates had donated US$28 billion to the foundation."
- qubax 8y ago> How long will it take to recoup his $28 billion in donations? He "donated" to his own charity which he and his wife controls. But since you asked, about 5 years. His net worth was about $67 billion in 2013. Now it's about $95 billion.
- giarc 8y agoIt's incredible that someone could donate billions of dollars and do unequivocally great things, and people like you still think it's bad.
- qubax 8y ago> It's incredible that someone could donate billions of dollars and do unequivocally great things, and people like you still think it's bad. He did a lot of bad things as well. Microsoft the Monopoly set back computing by many years and was one of the most destructive forces for the past 30 years. Gates must be spending a lot of money on PR to get his sainthood. I'm sure zuckerburg and bezos are going to set up their own family charity to avoid taxes and "do good" too. Doesn't make them saints.
