The $600 Billion Challenge

In the summer of 2010, Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and Warren Buffett publically launched an initiative to encourage other billionaires to pledge to give at least half of their wealth to charity during their life or at their death. (See Fortune, July 6, 2010) As Buffett says, “every rich person has thought about what to do with his or her money. They may not have reached a decision about that, but they have for sure thought about it.”
