Bill Gates has retired from Microsoft; today was his final day at the office. He’s worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 billion dollars and has a charitable organization that he and his wife have endowed with billions (not millions, billions) of dollars to improve the quality of human life on our planet.
When I retire I’ll be lucky if I get so much as a gold watch. I know I won’t be getting that many zeros in front of the decimal point on my final paycheck.
This is a really good lesson in what you should do when you have more money than you can spend in your lifetime. My donation on behalf of AIDS research: $300.00. Bill Gates’ donation: $300,000,000.00.
Guess I shoulda been a geek.
