I really do need to get to work now!
But here is an interesting statement about the richest man on earth..
Carlos Slim Helu
Donations: $4 billion
Net worth: $74 billion
World?s richest man has publicly stated that he feels more good can be done from creating jobs than from band-aid charitable giving. Yet it turns out he gave $2 billion, mostly from dividends, to his Carlos Slim Foundation in 2006, and $2 billion in 2010. Most of its programs are focused on digital education and health. A $100 million gift to the Clinton Initiative project is helping pay for 50,000 cataract surgeries in Peru. With the Gates Foundation and the government of Spain, it?s spending $150 million on nutrition and disease prevention in Central America.
