With great wealth comes great responsibility

Can you name the man who said, “With great wealth comes great responsibility?” No it wasn’t Old Uncle Ben from Spider Man. His quote was “With great power comes great responsibility” It certainly wasn’t Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, or Willy Wonka either. It has nothing to do with the new movie “Superman Returns” or anything in the comic universe whatsoever.

The correct answer was Bill Gates. As you might know he recently stated that he was going to retire from Microsoft and work only at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He is now focusing on helping other people who are less fortunate than himself.

While he was doing this, the stock market Superstar Warren Buffet was hatching up his own philanthropic scheme of his own. He just donated 85 percent of his wealth to the Gates Foundation. We’re talking $31,000,000,000 here!

About the inheritance that his children are now missing out on he stated that he believes children of wealthy people should be given enough so that they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
