Rich and generous
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, is devoting nearly all his wealth, roughly $45 billion, to good works in celebration of his new baby daughter. I congratulate him and his wife, Priscilla Chan, on this blessed event. I hope he inspires others in the top 1 percent to follow suit.
There are already quite a few in this elite group, such as Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett,who are very generous and are sharing their wealth through their amazing philanthropic works. They deserve our admiration, respect and gratitude.
