Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison and 38 Billionaires Giving Away Half of Their Wealth

Thursday, August 5, 2010

Thumbs up for those rich guys as they have signed a pledge to give away 50 percent or more of their fortunes to charity. The lifestyle of those billionaire is way too easy. :p

Investor Warren Buffett spearheaded the "giving pledge," calling a bunch of his billionaire buddies along with Bill Gates and asking people to make a pledge to give away a majority of their wealth. Some 40 billionaires signed up, including George Lucas, Larry Ellison, Barry Diller, and Ted Turner.

Millions of people around the world will benefit from the investment of billions of dollars into philanthropic causes.

Thanks :)
