"And what may the Gates foundation be doing with some of that money?" It's not a secret. Check it out. gatesfoundation.org "Warren Buffett’s Gift On June 26, 2006, Warren Buffett announced that he would give away most of his fortune to philanthropy, including a pledge of 10 million shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren’s gift to the foundation was worth more than $31 billion at the time. The foundation and its partners have already begun to put Warren’s unprecedented generosity to work. The increased resources will allow us to deepen and accelerate our efforts to address urgent inequities in the United States and around the globe. Thanks to Warren’s gift, the foundation will be giving away a projected $3.2 billion a year by 2009, working with our partners to make sure all people, no matter where they live, have a chance to live a healthy, productive life. Our Web site has more information about Warren’s pledge. Above photo from left: Warren Buffett, Howard G. Buffett, Peter A. Buffett, Allen Greenberg, Bill Gates, Melinda F. Gates, Susan A. Buffett."
