GUNWOUNDS Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 According to this.... Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for last 10 years.... and he is the worlds biggest Philantropist._____________________________________________________http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/americas/04/16/gates/_____________________________________________________
GUNWOUNDS Posted May 20, 2004 Author Posted May 20, 2004 Yes. We have discussed this many times...but it semms many dont understand.... in the "old" threads where we talked aobut this.. people claimed that 1.) he was not the richest man...and2.) He did not contribute like he should...I think this link pretty much shatters both of those claims... which were never really set straight in the previous threads
nemafakei Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 As to 2, the amount he donates in that article mostly tallies with what we had already extimated (if not undercuts our estimates). The point is, though, he's obscenely rich, and though he may donate half his wealth to charity, if he's wasting much of the other half, it's still pretty big figures coming to nothing.
shygirl4 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 without him, I doubt we would be having this discusion, well pehaps a few years down the line, we would, and a lot of charities depend on him. :)Shy ::)
