    As a Brit I am offended at Queenies recent knight-hoods. Silly old broad is probably bored lately, and likes swinging that sword around.

    However Bill Gates has done wonders for the economy of Amamricania (Or whatever that country is called).

    Beh.

  2. Check it as a PERCENTAGE of his total wealth. by khasim · · Score: 1, Troll

    When you have BILLIONS of dollars, it is easy to give a hundred thousand dollars to something.

    1,000,000,000 = 1 Billion.

    100,000 = 100 thousand.

    Now, if you have $50,000 then you could give $50 and still be giving the same PERCENTAGE.

    In other words, if you go to church every Sunday and put $5 in the collection plate, you've given $60. Which would be MORE than someone with ONE billion dollars giving away one hundred thousand dollars.
