Nearly 200 Of The World's Billionaires Have Pledged To Give Away Half Their Fortunes...

Five years ago, two of the richest people on the planet, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett created The Giving Pledge.
Now, nearly two hundred other immensely rich men and women have pledged to give half their vast fortunes to charities.
Becoming a signatory has brought those who've joined this exclusive club glowing press coverage, more fame and probably even more to their already bulging bank accounts.
Signing the pledge however hasn't and doesn't make them legally liable to give away a brass razzoo and neither Bill Gates or Warren Buffett ask the pledge takers to prove a thing.
But the idea is a noble one and hopefully the many who've signed will follow the fine examples of  Mr Buffett and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation who give so many of their squillions.
And try to make this world a better place...

Ninety Billionaires Join The Buffett-Gates Charity And Pledge To Give Away Half Their Fortunes...

Microsoft founder Bill Gates is
one of the richest people on the planet.
He and his wife Melinda have so far given away twenty eight billion dollars through
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
They joined forces with  billionaire Warren Buffett, another well known philanthropist, and between them have been instrumental in seeing, so far, ninety other billionaires coming on board the Buffett-Gates Charity.
Named 'The Giving Pledge', the members pledge to give away half their fortunes.
The list includes familiar names and there are, I'm delighted to say, too many to list here.
And there'd be a lawsuit if I left someone off.
Even though I'm not a member of their charity,
I'm very happy to support their wonderful philanthropy on this blog...
