The Microsoft Millionaires Come of Age

iseff writes "The NYTimes is running a story about the ways in which Microsoft millionaires are putting their money to use. According to the story, there is somewhere around 10,000 Microsoft made millionaires spending money on various pet projects. For example, former programmer Chris Peters bought the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association), while Stephanie DeVaan founded a political action committee and Rich Tong founded Ignition Partners, a VC firm."

The African pipeline system. I think one of the ultimate feats of engineering and humanitarian events would be to supply fresh water to villiages in Africa. The proposed system would be simple: Create desalinzation plants on the coast and then pipe water inland. The cost of such a system would be astronomical, but when you calculate what you earned in human lives bettered and saved then you can see its one of the best buys ever.
