He's worth around $60 billion and donating $750 million is not pocket change, even to him.

750 million is 750 million. As in 3/4 of a billion dollars.

That's not a penny.

...but if it is I've got a penny here I'll sell you for 750 mill.

[Ryan Stewart]

The other big thing is you are considering $60bil to be his net worth. He doesnt actually have 60bil. $750million is a shit load whoever you are, as long as its your money.

$750 million is not chump change.....even by Bill Gates' standards. That is simply a huge sum of cash to donate for any cause. He should be applauded for his generosity.

P.S. Keep in mind this isn't the first time 'ol Gates' has made a donation. He has made other contributions to funding education such as purchasing computers for under-funded schools.

Don't we go through this everytime some rich person makes a huge donation?

Whether or not $750 million is pocket change or not to Bill Gates, it is still $750 million he earned and gave away.

Maybe Bill Gates thinks differently and it is his money after all.
