Bill Gates has donated more than 36 billion dollars for his life

According to Forbes, the fortune of Bill Gates in September 2012 was estimated at 66 billion dollars. I would like to point out that the state is not money. Therefore, when someone says that Bill Gates’s fortune is estimated at 66 billion dollars, this does not mean that he has 66 billion dollars in his bank account.

There are other ways to find out how much money he has. One of these ways is to analyze charity donations.

It is also worth mentioning that with the help of a friend and neighbor by the rating of Warren Buffett, Bill Gates has already persuaded 60 billionaires to take part in the Giving Pledge campaign, promising to donate most of his wealth to charity - during his lifetime or after his death. The official website of The Giving Pledge says that "this is an attempt to encourage the richest people and their families to donate most of their wealth to philanthropy." By December 2010, 69 billionaires from the United States joined the campaign and promised to give 50% of their capital to charity. The list of philanthropists included such famous billionaires as Michael Bloomberg, George Lucas, David Rockefeller, Mark Zuckerberg, and others.

With the help of the survey, I suggest you, dear habrovchane, express your opinion in relation to charity.
