We’ve always maintained on Horiwood.Com that in a global recession (likened to the great depression in world history) there are two people that are incredibly important.
Politicians but also the billionaire philanthropist. According to yahoo news Bill Gates, the richest known man in the world, says: “I think all billionaires should give away the vast majority of their fortune. I’m not saying they shouldn’t leave anything for their kids or to have a little bit for themselves but yes, I think they would enjoy it, I think their kids would be better off, and I think the world would be better off.”
Oprah must be trembling in her boots right now! Just kidding, but Bill is so right! It’s about being a Mr Schindler vs being an Adolph Hitler, from Schindler’s List’s key message that Steven Spielberg depicted in his film starring Liam Neeson.
If you can’t take your wealth and fame with you, let it live on the living legacy of the masses who need a helping hand.
What a powerful message for Bill Gates. Along with Billionaire Philanthropist Richard Chandler of New Zealand making a difference in India, he’s my new hero!
