420. $4.6 billion is nothing…

Bill gates gave away $4.6bn and is still the world’s richest person! It’s only about 5% of his worth.
Just think about that for a second.
$4.6bn is more than the GDP of 4o countries around the world.
Even 1% of that amount is way more than we will see in our lifetimes. Even 0.1% of it is more than most of us will earn in our lifetimes.
I’m in awe of this for two simple reasons:
- That he was generous enough to give that much away
- That he is so rich it didn’t even make a dent in his net worth
It really is a mind boggling amount of money to somebody like me. Would it even be possible to spend that much money in your lifetime?
