We commented a while back as Carlos Slim was the new world's richest man according to Forbes magazine , and we were struck by how a country like Mexico had such privilege.
The data are more striking: Mr. Slim properties, up more than 5% of gross domestic production (GDP ) of Mexico and one third of the value of Mexican stocks.
In any case the numbers are always cold and unfeeling, but sometimes one would also call attention to the numbers and figures for encouraging and supportive.
And is that the two richest men in the United States, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett announced last few dates, they want to convince other magnates of the world to donate half of his fortune to charity.
Apparently, the idea was born at a dinner held in New York in May 2009 and flourished in other similar meetings between wealthy enthusiasts.
Buffett, investor and industry of 79 years old, whose fortune is estimated at 47 billion dollars, made by hand the following pledge: "Over 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy in my life or die."
After discussion with his family, Buffett decided he wants to stay "with everything we need and distribute the rest of society for their needs."
Other millionaires have joined the initial idea. David Rockefeller, the mayor of New York and the richest man in the city Michael Bloomberg and entertainer TV-and multi- Oprah Winfrey are among the potential participants.
One of the foundations that would benefit from this movement among individuals with more money in the world, would be led by the Gates family ( The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ) that has been helping those in need since 1994.
is really worthy of admiration for people that society and life has given everything, try to return it to some extent at the end of their path.
