3. 人物介绍--沃伦·巴菲特和比尔·盖茨
Warren Buffett
Known as the "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time.
Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway, which owns more than 60 companies, including insurer Geico, battery maker Duracell and restaurant chain Dairy Queen.
The son of a U.S. congressman, he first bought stock at age 11 and first filed taxes at age 13.
He has promised to donate over 99% of his wealth. So far he has given more than $41 billion, mostly to g billionaires to commit to donating at least half of their wealth to charitable causes.
Bill Gates
With his wife Melinda, Bill Gates chairs the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest private charitable foundation.
In May 2020, the Gates Foundation said it would spend $300 million to fight the coronavirus pandemic, funding treatment, detection and vaccines.
Gates has sold or given away much of his stake in Microsoft -- he owns just over 1% of shares -- and invested in a mix of stocks and other assets.
In mid-March 2020, Gates stepped down as a board member of Microsoft, the software firm he founded with Paul Allen (d. 2018) in 1975.
The foundation works to improve global health and to create equal opportunity for people around the globe.
To date, Gates has donated $35.8 billion worth of Microsoft stock to the Gates Foundation.
