Yep. That is what you're likely to hear around these forums and it comes down to one thing - people can't think for themselves so they just go with the flow.

Philanthropy is also important to Gates. He and his wife, Melinda, have endowed a foundation with more than $21 billion to support philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with the hope that as we move into the 21st century, advances in these critical areas will be available for all people. To date, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed more than $2 billion to organizations working in global health; more than $500 million to improve learning opportunities, including the Gates Library Initiative to bring computers, Internet Access and training to public libraries in low-income communities in the United States and Canada; more than $200 million to community projects in the Pacific Northwest; and more than $29 million to special projects and annual giving campaigns.

Now; before you jump to conclusions and look at other peoples success and start mocking them, because of stupidity and jealousy, take the time to think about what he's done.

Considering How much he is worth, it is a rather small percentage.

But i'd be more than happy with 1 Million :)

You say "only", but I don't know about you, but if my parents left my £1,000,000, then I'd be pretty pleased.
