In this regard I salute Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and any others on this list who have started getting rid of their money by investing it in good causes, esp those who have started young, like that Facebook guy, Mark Z (even if it was done to launder an image tainted by the whiff of selfishness in the wake of that film ...)
