The great billionaire giveaway

[harisuae]

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have persuaded 40 of America's richest to donate 50 percent of their wealth to charity. CEO Middle East finds out how they did it.


The sluggish response for international aid in the wake of Pakistan's floods was heavily criticised by charities who were left desperately trying to feed, clothe and provide medical care to the more than 17 million people who have been affected by the devastating floods.

It took nearly three weeks for the United Nations to raise 70 percent of the $460m required to provide emergency relief, with Saudi Arabia donating almost a third ($100m) of the total alone. Such figures still pale in comparison to the amount Warren Buffett and Bill Gates managed to persuade America's richest to donate to charity the same month.
