Bill Gates is no longer the richest person in the world, and he has no one to blame but himself.

Gates, who co-founded the huge computer company Microsoft, won't be at the top of the richest list because he has given away more than a third of his money to charity.

How much money are we talking about? Well, Gates and his wife, Melinda, have donated $28 billion (that's $28,000,000,000) to the foundation they created to improve education in this country and health conditions for people around the world.

Forbes magazine will release its annual list today, and it's expected that the top three will be Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, worth about $60 billion; Gates, worth about $49 billion; and investor Warren Buffett, worth about $47 million.

Sure, Gates is still really, really rich, and you could say that his giving doesn't affect him or his family. But think about this: Do you give a third of your allowance to charity?

So western world shouldn't give money to third world countires, like in Africa?
I've to remind you that third world countries are poor becouse European countries stole all natural resources during imperialism, and that's why they're so poor today

so the answer your looking for is in your question hint europeans...why does the US have to make up for europes dumb shit mistakes? also its nothin to do with stealing resources, its that 3rd world countries cant compete in formal economies due to low tech, corrupt governments, etc. especially when monopolies can flood markets with cheap goods that someone in say africa hand made and expects someone to pay a lot for. This is why they are poor and they will continue to stay poor. :dingding:

US was found by europeans, that's why and US conquered Philippines

and we broke away so we dont have ties with them and plus like i said in the end of my post its still their own faults there poor
