Although I'm not for sure..

Rockefeller I heard donated the vast majority of his fortune before he died.

I believe is estate in todays money would be in the $250,000,000,000 range

Agreed

xlogger · 09-02-2005, 12:57 PM

And also, after his death his childrens are only getting a REALLY small faction of his $ (like 10M each or something). Rest of it is going to charity.

emthree · 09-02-2005, 01:20 PM

Here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_&_...tes_Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the world's largest charitable foundation, endowed by Bill Gates, chairman and founder of Microsoft, and his wife, Melinda Gates. It was created in January 2000 through the merger of the Gates Learning Foundation and the William H. Gates Foundation. The foundation is based in Seattle, Washington and is led by William H. Gates, Sr. (Bill Gates' father) and Patty Stonesifer.

The foundation has a financial endowment of approximately US$28.8 billion. To maintain its status as a charitable foundation, it must donate at least 5 percent of its assets each year. This amounts to over $1 billion

-----
and that's just one thing.. take a look at the Google link - he gave $750M to fight Malaria in Africa

He may not be well liked by many, but he DOES do good works.

DarkJedi - have YOU donated anything yet?

you're probably right - but it still helps people no matter what the motivation behind it

Yes that is true.

I just don't jump of excitement when those rich people and companies donate, because they can account for it when paying taxes. And if there are some smaller percent they can't account for, they earn it back by higher "popularity"... brought by the medias...which they sponsor...

In the end, its just less money for the public through the tax system

Right now I am using money I make to increase my revenues. Once I am at a comfortable level I will be giving away probably 95% of profits; there's no need for any single person or family to be rich, when others are suffering. And this isn't a debate, "I'm going to donate a higher % than Bill Gates," the more everyone helps others out, the better the world will become.
