Today Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the world, annouced he is donating 85% of all his money to charity. He and good friend Bill Gates will pool their donations to a whopping 66 Billion !!!! dollars (source: cnn ac360). It's an incomprehensible amount of money! According to Wikipedia the International Red Cross' total budget in 2005 was 760 million dollars. The 66 Billion could cover that for the next 85 years! Good for him!
p.s. $66 Billion is half of Sweden's budget for 2007... and would pay for 12 months of war in Irak... d.s.
