Why don't they make a contest for the 100 most generous people in the world instead of the 100 most powerful people in the world?

yeah i was thinking the same think when i do i good thing i dont like to tell everybody you know,but on the other hand for example when somebody do something bad there is always a copycat for the bad things, and maybe if we see people do good things then there would be more copycats doing good things, im glad that you answered my questions i thought i was talking craziness. I dont Know but sometimes i feel weird, because i dont follow what most people follow is in and question many things like sadly, we live in a materialistic world, and people dont like to help each other. People sometimes try to fool the other people trying to look smarter than the other. You are right. God is love.

Well since you’re bringing this up, I suppose it’s safe to say that Bill Gates, being the 2nd richest man in the world has also donated more than what the eighth richest man in the world is worth.

The eighth being worth 26 billion. Bill Gates has donated 28 billion to charities in his lifetime so really, some of the most powerful people are doing some good so just because they’re powerful, doesn’t mean they’re cruel and evil.

There would probably be a lot of cross over between the two list. Like MightMig mentioned, Bill Gates has donated quite a bit of money through his life, and is very rich. Question comes down to is it done to be generous, for PR or for tax reasons and just has a good spin on it or a combination of all the above.

Guys like Bill Gates have an insane amount of taxes to pay, but as far as I know donations to charities go against your taxes 1:1. So he can pay $100,000 as part of his taxes or gift it to a charity and look good. Either way he doesn’t get to keep the money.
