this is just beautiful!

created by billionaires warren buffett and bill & melinda gates, the giving pledge is an “effort to invite the wealthiest individuals and families in America to commit to giving the majority of their wealth to philanthropy.”

GOOD FOR THEM! currently over 40 billionaires have agreed to give away at least half of their total wealth including george lucas, barron hilton, ted turner, david rockefeller and more.

there’s no cap to how much you can donate – founder warren buffett has pledged 99% of his wealth! you’re saying, okay, what’s it to them? they still have millions left over. true, but it’s a terrific start and a great example to other wealthy individuals to hold off on their 5th house and 3rd porsche and donate some of their God-given wealth to those less fortunate.

early guesstimations of the total pledged are rounding out at 230 billion! just think what that could do:

• feed more than 862 million people
• educate over 80 million
• provide clean water for 5 billion people
• treat 5 million people suffering from AIDs for 30 years
