Ram Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 wtf is he gonna do in such a big ugly building? masterbate in every room? Bill Gates still drives an old Lexus....he could've built a hospital for free for people of mumbai with half of that money? why need for such showing off? What car do you drive dude? I hope it isnt anything worth more than $2000-$3000 bucks. Coz if it is, I am sure you will immediately sell it to fund the education of 10 poor kids in Kolkata and move around in a '96 Camry. Lol, the fakest of all fake dudes trying to give others a lesson in morality..

Ram Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Now, THIS is a billionaire I admire Bill and Melinda Gates make $10bn vaccine pledge Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have said they will donate $10bn (£6.2bn) over the next 10 years to develop and deliver new vaccines. Mr Gates, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said the aim was to see 90% of children in developing countries immunised. Over the past 10 years, the couple's charity has committed $4.5bn (£2.78bn) to the development of vaccines. The World Health Organization called the commitment "unprecedented". Mr Gates said that by increasing immunisation coverage in poorer countries to 90% it should be possible to save the lives of 7.6 million children under five between 2010 and 2019. 'Incredible impact' "We must make this the decade of vaccines," he said in a statement. "Vaccines already save and improve millions of lives in developing countries. Innovation will make it possible to save more children than ever before." He said money was needed to make the most of new vaccines now becoming available, including ones against severe diarrhoea and pneumonia. Melinda Gates added: "Vaccines are a miracle. With just a few doses, they can prevent deadly diseases for a lifetime. "We've made vaccines our number one priority at the Gates Foundation because we have seen first hand their incredible impact on children's lives." Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organization, said it was an unprecedented contribution and urged governments and private donors to add to the initiative. "An additional two million deaths in children under five years could be prevented by 2015 through widespread use of new vaccines and a 10% increase in global vaccination coverage," she said. The Gates foundation has done some incredible work in the areas of child vaccination and immunization in the developing and third-world countries.
Sachinism Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Yeh I saw that article about Bill and Melinda on reddit the other day, you have to admire the guy. Brilliant. But Morris remember when he was working, he had some flashy house. What about Warren Buffet, lives in a smallish house and drives a cheap car and I believe he is a major contributor to Bill Gates charity
Ram Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Yeh I saw that article about Bill and Melinda on reddit the other day, you have to admire the guy. Brilliant. But Morris remember when he was working, he had some flashy house. What about Warren Buffet, lives in a smallish house and drives a cheap car and I believe he is a major contributor to Bill Gates charity Warren Buffer has pledged almost 95% (not sure of the %) of his combined wealth to the Bill/Melinda Gates Foundation. Obviously, I am not comparing someone like Gates and Ambani. I am sure the Ambani brothers would be doing tremendous amounts of charity too. But what I like about Gates is that, after retiring from an active position at MS, he has focused much of his time/effort to the vaccination efforts in poor countries. Directly or indirectly, Bill Gates must have helped millions of families lead a better, more healthier life.
achilles Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 The home is absolutely unbelievable :two_thumbs_up: Did the Helipad get permitted? Last I heard was that BMC was against it and asked him not to construct it?
suma25 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Posted February 2, 2010 ^ the navy is against it as well.Last heard the bmc had okayed it but the navy had turned it down.
achilles Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 ^ Oh man. The only building in Mumbai and maybe India, which was to have a helipad is being embroiled in so much controversy.
