Bill Gates has donated over $100 billion to philanthropic causes; principally the Gates Foundation. Thus he has given away more than the combined net worth of the bottom 50%.

@ElwoodBlues And Warren Buffett gives his charitable donations direct to the Gates Foundation, because as he sees it, they do the best work, why reinvent the wheel. Buffett is a practical man.

Maybe not. But Zuckerberg is only about 41. Gates started his foundation at age 44 and by age 50 (2006) had contributed $36 to $39 billion to it. There's time for Zuck to get concerned about his legacy and give philanthropy a fling.:: UPDATE ::

@ElwoodBlues Note that Gates' generosity was prompted by his (2nd?) wife...and Zuckerberg, the nerd voyeur with an ego to rival DJT, seems to also have required feminine intervention to become "charitably-minded"...
