The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation yesterday said it will give $500 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria over the next five years.
The contribution is by far the largest from a nongovernment source since the Global Fund was created in 2002.

i find it amusing seeing "only" and "$500 million" in the same sentence.
its estimated hes given ove 25% of his fortune to charity.
who cares if he has more, thats damn generous.
i doubt anyone here has given close to 5% of their earnings, never mind 25%.

nice gesture, but that's nothing for him. ...like a walk in the park...
but anyway, this is very nice from him
Hell no
Nice of him to do this but people still moaning that he has all that money, $500 million isn't enough. Urm it's his money he can do what ever he wants with it. Personaly he could spare 1mill for me

Ya I agree he is a multi billionaire, this is nothing compared to what he is making yearly. But it still is nice to see he is still donating.
