"Bill Gates is not the philanthropist he pretends to be. The Gates Foundation has an endowment of $30 Billion making it the largest philanthropic organization in the world. But one third of that money is invested in companies whose practices run counter to the foundation’s supposed charitable goals and social mission. In Niger, the Foundation has invested more than $400 million dollars in oil companies including Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp, and Chevron. These firms have been responsible for much of the pollution causing respiratory problems and other afflictions among the local population. The Gates Foundation also has investments in sixty-nine of the worst polluting companies in the US and Canada, including Dow Chemical.
Whoever wrote that is missing the point. The only way to change what a company does is to buy stock in it. Plus when you buy stocks on the open market the money doesn't go to the company.
It's sloppy journalism.
Classy guy and about as far from the teachings of Buddha (Who he claimed to be a follower of) as one could be.
He became Buddhist for the girls, they love religion.
