Uh I think that was mentioned as why he was donating so much to charity.

I don't think its possible to even give money away that quickly. Someone once came up with a stat that at his average income rate, if he dropped a $100 and picked it up, he would lose money! The guy gets what, $200 million a day?
On the other hand I do admire what he has done with all that money...I wish I could afford to donate more than $5...

Poor Gates....
Seriously though, hes only giving his kids 15 million each. Is he gunna donate the rest??!?! I mean come on, he gets anything he wants, but won't let his kids? I'd give them atleast a billion each and then put money in the grandkids bank accounts. Then donate the rest and give to family members...

15 million is plenty for each of his kids. That guy really knows how to give to charity. He's got so much, and yet he's giving up so much of it. Reminds me of Carnegie, except without the hired killings.
