Rich giving

Back in 2010 a group of billionaires led by Gates and Buffet got together and formed a club of people who were willing to give away at least half of their wealth. This group, which now numbers more than 100, was recently joined by Face Book’s Mark Zuckerberg. He agreed to give away 99% of his 45 billion in stock and while I admire this, keep in mind that this still leaves him with 450 million dollars. This group has so far pledged over 500 billion to charity. This is certainly not their last two copper coins but it is something to be admired.
