Since 2007 Bill Gates has given away 48 percent of his net-worth for charity [Infographic]

Even as an Apple fanboy, I have much graditude for the tremendous charitable work Bill and Melinda Gates are doing. This is one amazing infographic.

You have to respect a guy for giving so much even if it is just a small portion of what he has. -BWC

amazing stuff here, gives hope to the future for sure.

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to assemble an iPad at Foxconn, you feed him for a lifetime. A lifetime including ones that end prematurely due to suicide.

On one hand, it's a small miracle, on the other, that's 5 million more people living on <$1 a day. You have to go all the way, right? Shelter, food, education — that's like a 15-20 year commitment to eradicate the cycle for 1 generation…

How much in taxes has Gates actually paid? I'm interested only because in Europe, we give away 60% of our gross income. A comparison would be fun.

In the end he is financing pharmaceutical corporation for vaccines for world depopulation, this is just a cover story.

Bill Gates is a hero and always will be. Not only did he drive a software market but he also believes in humanity and has a heart of gold. Go Bill!

Let's get him to give a little to the adult baseball leauge's starting.

is terrible and needs upgrading. MM baseball advocate.

Says the Middle-Class Bulgarian.

Apple has 80 billion in cash. 54 billion of that is held overseas and away from the IRS.

first world problems lol

Considering the fact that most of his wealth is in Microsoft shares, I doubt he'd be taxed for making long-term capital gains. If anything, he donated a larger % of his wealth than your average person.

He has "helped" improverished nations, not our society, not America. He does little for America.

You're clearly a very narrow minded person. Why does America need to be first on the list in your eyes ?
Why not somewhere suffering.

Not to mention he's developed windows. I'm sure the majority of America use hos software and it keeps companies moving

America should be first on the list because we need help here. In case you haven't noticed, we're having economic difficulties.. It must be nice for you to not know anyone who is having financial trouble now. Aside from that, America made Microsoft and Bill Gates. It was our country that enabled him to get the fine education and provided the opportunities he got. Time for some payback.

If you haven't noticed….third world countries didn't get themselves into a mess. You live in a first world country…we got ourselves into the mess. These people have no food or water or homes, whereas you are in a place which can get itself out of financial debt. Also you complete idiot, these countries are billions of dollars more in debt than the us….
Bill gates has given 25% of 28billion to the US. I'm sure you haven't given 0.01% of that to the us….have you?
You have the advantage of living in a p
Ace you have a computer to use, a mobile. Clean food and water. Your family arnt dying around you from lack of resources.
If America are so financially in debt, why don't they stop spending 6 billion a day on all the wars it starts ?

Stop loving in this pathetic

Stop living in this pathetic dreamland of you needing it more than a third world country. America are doing fine and getting the self out of a problem they caused. A third world country does not have the luxury of being able to sort itself out.
You are selfish. Completely selfish.

Oh, and these countries also buy Microsoft products.

Also, he made Microsoft, not America.
You Americans seem to have this image where if it's made in America…it's Americas. It's not.

And also, if wngland hasn't developed the hardware a originally, there wouldn't be such a thing as a computer…so by your rules….he should be helping England?

And there's probably a reason you only have 18 friends on Facebook.

I'm not talking about Bill Gates helping ME personally. I'm talking about him helping America. You are daft to not see how bad it is for people here now? You must be living in a rich dreamland. I know people who have lost their businesses, their homes. I guess you don't.

Gates could help out people are living in their cars with their entire family. He could help our wounded warriors who have lost limbs and haven't got a proper house fit for the disabled to live in. He could help finance small businesses to help our economy. The list is endless. Instead, he is giving millions to AIDS education in some village in India.

Sure our gov spends money improperly, but there's nothing the people can do about that. The issue is that Bill Gates and Microsoft were made by AMERICA. (I don't care which country code was first developed. That's not the point.)

And you're wrong, percentage wise, I do give more to charity than Bill Gates does, but again, that's not the issue, how much I give.

Oh good lord you're an idiot.

Gives so much!!!

No, you're the idiot. Why are you defending him? LOL You think Bill Gates gives a rat's ass about you?

Newsflash: Facebook friends aren't real.

Pah:') good god. You truly are a complete and utter fool its hilarious. Keep going, this is so entertaining :')

No, yours may not be, but everyone else's are
