What are the benefits he derived?
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 5y agoEpstein was friends with many other wealthy people (who could potentially donate to the Gates foundation), and he had the power to persuade them.
- voisin 5y agoGiven the value of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, why would Gates spend any of his own valuable personal time networking to raise more money for it and not trying to put more of the existing money to work? Seems like the opportunity cost of fundraising is high.
- jjeaff 5y agoI can't imagine a single wealthy person that wouldn't take a cold call from Gates and probably at least agree to a sit down meeting on the spot. Epstein was virtually anonymous relative to Gates.
