The site below has some interesting facts.  The developed world set a target of 0.7% of its gross national income to be given to the poor nations.  Almost every nation came up short.  Except for Luxembourg and the Scandinavian nations who are always good. We give alot in gross dollars but as a proportion of our income we are cheapskates.  Italy beats us.  Tiny little Belgium beats us.  Belgium!  What have they got to give away anyway?  Chocolate?

1. William H. Gates III\n\nAge: 43\nNationality: American\nMartial Status: Married\nChildren: 2\nEducation: Harvard dropout\nWorth: $90 Billion\n\nWe should all just face the fact that Bill Gates will one day rule the world. By the time Windows 2015 comes out, all will fear Bill's wrath. But you gotta admit that it doesn't look like it went to his head; the richest human on Earth, and he has the dorkiest haircut money could buy.\n\nThe son of a lawyer father and teacher mother, Gates dropped out of preschool to devote all of his time to inventing Microsoft with chum Paul Allen, then just 3 years old. After drooling all over the HVAC tubes, Bill decided to go back to school for a few more years, eventually dropping out of Harvard University to work on Microsoft.\n\nThe rest, as they all too frequently say, is history. Microsoft became this huge international corporate behemoth, and is currently fighting off anti-trust investigations and accusations that it holds a monopoly. When Bill rules the world, he's going to come down and fire those federal court judges with extreme prejudice. They'll never work on his planet again!\n\nGates relinquished his role as President of Microsoft in 1998, and as CEO on January 13, 2000; both posts are now held by Steve Ballmer. However, Bill remains Chairman and "chief software architect" of the company, as well as its largest shareholder. So they still let him come to board meetings.\n\nMr. Bill once gave $17 Billion to charity, which makes Ted Turner's paltry offering of $1 billion to the UN look like chump change. He's also written a couple of books and is heavily invested in biotechnology and cellular and satellite technology. Investors, call your brokers.\n\nSo to get onto our list of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Billionaires, you must: join Microsoft (preferably early on), be an oil baron, drop out of college, get married, have 3.1 kids, inherit lots of money, and bleed your people dry.
