Everybody wishes to be rich, but wealth comes with immense responsibility. Year-after-year, we see the rich getting richer, and more billionaires in quantity than ever before. When we think of the mega-rich, we can't stop but think about the mighty duo of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
Incredible as it is, we have seen generosity like none other in the form of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This philantropical organization has contributed money towards many humanitarian efforts, including research grants toward deadly diseases, as well as education for those trapped in poverty. Bill Gates himself had declared his forthcoming retirement from Microsoft and stepping down from daily management duties at the software company in order to focus on the Foundation. As if that is not enough, Warren Buffett had also pledged the majority chunk of his money (more than $30 Billion) to the causes served by the Gates Foundation.
As much as envy dominates our emotions, we are very glad to hear news of Bill and Warren putting their money where their mouths are - and taking tangible actions to make a positive change in our world. Thank you, Mr. Gates and Mr. Buffett for helping others who are less fortunate.
