The Gates foundation makes $750 million a year in interest alone from its $37 billion endowment, so this isnt really that big a deal.

Motherfu- !

How much do you donate to charities?!

Fuck all! But thats not the point. Im just putting it into context, I still respect him for what hes doing and its a fantastic thing.

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

His goal is to eradicate 10 of the worlds most deadly diseases, that in turn will impact the world as much or more as what he has done for the computer industry, beats building a large wooden plane.

Kinda sad seeing people downplaying charity like this :/

Having said that... This could have funded 35 AAA titles!

They could have taken 50m~ out of the $550m they made this Q alone and made a pretty awesome game (and stand a chance of making a profit) gah Microsoft

Like giving a dollar to a homeless man. Great to see wealthy people keeping others in mind.

If I had his money, I would have donated 20 times as much at the least.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

There is nothing wrong in what he is doing and I respect him for it.

I would have respected him more if all this was done without so much media hype... yes, it is possible to give away without the world knowing and it being front page news. Other companies and people give money away and nothing or little is heard about it.

The words of a great teacher that lived a couple thousand years ago begs the question:

Does he do it for the praise of men (like so many here thinking what a great man he is for giving money away) or does he really have a big heart?

I think it is a bit of both but THE IMPORTANT THING IS as long as people benefit from the money who really cares.
