    His philanthropy was always a response to how much people hated him because of Microsoft. He is so thin-skinned and can’t stand even legitimate grievances against him.

      I’ll take a thin skinned billionaire that donates some of those billions to feel warm and fuzzy over a thick skinned one that laughs from a balcony as people lose their homes.

        I’ve checked the numbers once. Gates donated to his foundation $20B and today the foundation has over $70B. Bill, through his foundation, controls 3x more money they he donated. He’s using foundation’s grants to influence policy and research at a global scale. This is not about helping anyone, it’s about excreting power over governments while improving his public image.

        What he should be doing instead? Paying taxes.
