Hey there. I am only recalling from memory, so please don't quote me...
Bill Gates and his wife started a foundation with the mission to cure 10 diseases in his lifetime. Warren Buffet (#2 Richest Man) is donating a load to the cause as well. Together, the William and (insert wife's name) Foundation has funding of $100,000,000,000 (that's 100 b-b-b-billion dollars)

It is none of your business how much he gives. It is nothing that you need to know and if you watched the news over the last few months you would have half a clue to the answer.
What about your donations? Are you giving as much to charity as you are spending on your family this Christmas? Are you giving any of your time? I give shed loads and don't care that I'm sometimes overdrawn at the bank. I still have enough to keep body and soul together and I wish other people would stop nosing into other people's affairs and just get on with quietly giving to those that need it most.
P.S Taxes also go to the needy, do you think Bill don't pay no taxes!

Bill Gates like any other right thinking billionaire thinks as I do that charity begins at home.

quite a bit, but i guess he'd be giving a lot mote if he commits 50% of his time to providing oversight & guidance to some of the world's largest charity organizations...

actually i heard that he wasn't leaving a penny to his kids but has poured loads into african countries to fight aids. He also appeared at the live eight concert, so he seems to be doing his part, not sure of specific figures.
