So what do you do with all of your billions?

If you’re Warren Buffet, you give it all away. Warren Buffet has announced that 85% of his holdings in Berkshire Hathaway will be donated to charity in the coming years. With the lion’s share going to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    I wonder how much of this was inspired by Bill Gate’s plan to devote his time fully to charity in 2 years. Kind of a philanthropic one-upmanship.

    This could be the beginning of a great trend. We now have the 2 richest people in the US (in the world?) planning to devote a majority of their time and money to charity. Hopefully other wealthy people will follow suit.
