It’s a fact he’s given tens of billions to charity. What evidence do you have of him spending similar amounts on other things?

- searchableguy 6y agoI too would like to donate a few billions from my 100 billion pile of cash.
- cinntaile 6y agoI mean why would he donate everything at once? That wouldn't really make sense.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoPerhaps not all at once, but there are plenty of problems with underfunded solutions. A few years back, I was fortunate to have a random conversation with a reknown researcher from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. He was lucid and blunt: if we had more money we could solve fusion. A couple days later there was news of China having done the longest running fusion reactor burst (?) to date. Two-plus minutes. I keep thinking about that conversation and his "promise."
- josefx 6y agoExcept most of those tens of billions haven't gone anywhere and are still held by a foundation fully controlled by bill gates. The amount of it that drips down to actual charities is a small percentage of these tens of billions each year.
- tzs 6y agoThey are currently giving away about $5 billion a year.
