SHOUTOUT: Bill Gates

Say what you want about how superior your Mac is to any other computer but Bill Gates is the real deal. For many millionaires, after making their first couple million it’s time to take it easy and enjoy fulfilling the American dream. Bill and his wife Melina (actually I heard the foundation is mostly her idea) have really hit the ground running, working on a variety of issues to help the developing world. I can’t vouch and say that his foundation is absolutely perfect and spends all of their money in the best ways but I can tell you that they are doing a lot. I spent a little bit of time talking to my friend Jacque about how he enjoys working for the Gates Foundation and besides the normal hardships of working in a developing country he has nothing but good things to say about the Foundation and feels confident in what they are doing.
My kids love Bill Gates. I have no problem vouching for Bill Gates either. Don’t worry I’m not trying to gloss over the aggressive monopoly he was trying to pull several years back but I have really good feelings toward hi m now a days. All my kids say ‘ah I want to be like Bill Gates, he is so rich and not only is he so ridiculously rich he actually helping people out too. I want to be like him.’ Then I tell them well best of luck, you’re going to have to study a little bit harder if you want to be like him.
I also don’t want to leave out this fact either. As a testament to how decent the Gates Foundation is, famous millionaire Warren Buffet has agreed to donate a significant portion of his millions to the Gates Foundation as well.
I know he's not perfect and same with the foundation but hey he's trying which is a lot more than other people.
