Buffet's doing the right thing. I wonder if we can get the rest of the 1/10 of 1%'rs to have a social conscience?
"Warren Buffett, the world's second-richest man, is making an unprecedented donation to the foundation run by the world's richest man, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.
Buffett, 75, the CEO of the Omaha, Neb.-based company Berkshire Hathaway, is worth $44 billion, according to Fortune magazine.
Fortune reports that Buffett will donate 85 percent of his fortune amassed from stock in the Berkshire Hathaway company to five foundations.
The donations, which will come from Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway shares, would amount to about $37 billion, based on current values.
Five-sixths of the money reportedly will go to The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which specializes in finding cures for diseases that plague impoverished nations."
That still leaves him a few billion so his ancestors will never need to work. Isn't that enough? Enough so that your family can be as wealthy as a royal family never needing to work. How healthy will that be for them?
