Did you know that Bill Gates (the riches man in the world) Is only going to give him children like 30 million a peice in his will and is giving the rest of his 56 billion dollars to charity?
A lot of people are in awe over this because it's so much money. And others are saying his children will not be able to make it on 30 million (coughs) for the rest of their lives because they are used to having billions, stacked upon billions.
Do you think it's good of him, or stupid?

I think he's fabulous. He's on the autistic spectrum, so to see him giving money to children's causes like autism is spectacular. Gotta love him!

Mine is $129.00 NOT including the internet. But we have a lot of phone lines for a big family!

His kids can survive on 30 million but I don't think he has any children yet. At keast he isn't greedy about his fortune and he is willing to give it to charities instead of hording it.

I remember him making this statement a few years ago.
He claimed that he had really enjoyed life because of the challenge of creating his own future and destiny, so he did not want his children to miss out on the same opportunity.
To be left a couple of million dollars already takes away the challenge, so heaven knows what he meant by that.

Oh what a shame - only 30 million! How will they ever cope?
I read somewhere that Richard Branson is not going to leave his children any money in his will so that they have to earn their own. Personally I think he's got a good point. There's enough Paris Hiltons in the world already!

Oh his poor children. Only getting a measly $30 million. For shame Bill Gates.... how dare you leave your children destitute.
I hope that the sick sarcasm is heard in this by all.
If he gave me $30 million I could do so much with it and never have a problem financially. I would not complain that is for sure.
