I will do what this men are doing
1. Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos took to Instagram on Monday to announce that beginning this summer, the money will be divided up between scientific research, activists, and nonprofit organizations through the new Bezos Earth Fund.
"Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet," the Amazon CEO captioned a photo of the plant on Instagram. "I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share."
Bezos has previously been criticized for not giving back as much of his massive fortune as his fellow billionaires, but this gift is believed to be the second-largest charitable donation of the century.
2. Bill Gate and Melinda
Do you know what they did?
They created the Bill and Melinda Gate To help the world.
Every year, millions of people around the world transition out of poverty. Regional growth and economic opportunities like new jobs, technologies, and business opportunities, help people build more stable economic lives. At the same time, millions of people remain trapped in a cycle of poverty that is very difficult to escape. We believe financial exclusion is a significant driver of this cycle.
About 1.7 billion people worldwide are excluded from formal financial services, such as savings, payments, insurance, and credit. In developing economies, only 63 percent of adults have an account. Women are excluded from these beneficial financial systems more often. Nearly one billion are still left out of the formal financial system, and there is a 9 percent persistent gender gap in financial inclusion in developing economies.
3. Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg’s charitable donations are based on his pledge to donate 99 percent of his wealth to charities over the course of his life. He vowed himself to this by signing the Giving Pledge. The Giving Pledge is a commitment by the world’s wealthiest individuals to dedicate the majority of their wealth into charities and for good causes. Within this pledge, Zuckerberg also wants to promote equality and advance the human potential for future generations.
In September 2016, Mark and his wife Priscilla Chan sold $95 million in Facebook stocks so that they could give the proceeds to charity. They plan to sell the stocks in the amount to at least $1 billion each year. So far, Zuckerberg has donated $45 billion to charitable purposes.
