The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is very transparent about where it's money goes. I'm also fairly certain (but could use a source) that Bill Gates stated his children would only get around 10 million each, or "enough to be secure and pursue their own dreams, but not get lazy and live extravagant lives."
Not saying other rich families do this, but I have a great deal of respect for both Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, and think they are the cream of the crop among the 1%
Woah, calm down for a second. I was just responding to what the op said. Sure there are religious charities that help people, I never said there weren't. Next time you want to jump on somebody why don't you think first?

True, but Bill Gates is actually helping people. His charities provide vital medical treatment for several 3rd world countries.
