    Where on earth did you read he’s giving away money?

    For example, researchers don’t want “his money” because there are so many strings attached that whatever you discover, now it’s under Bill Gates ownership.

      I definitely don’t have much love for the guy but my understanding is the money he put up to fight malaria has saved a bunch of lives.

      The current situation as I understand it is that he makes more money from his investments than he gives away each year. If he was committed to giving all his money away like he said, wouldn’t he… get on that? He’s not getting any younger, why isn’t he throwing cash at any good cause?
