So I was reading on www.usatoday.com today and found this article about 40 of the worlds richest people and how they have vowed to give at least half of their fortunes away to a charity of their choice. This may happen in their lifetime or after they pass away.

The combined giving would be approximately 90 BILLION dollars. Could you imagine what this type of money could do if they really do live up to their word on this one?

What are your thoughts?

here is the article if you wanted to read it:
