Excellent post Chachagirl! Somebody STICKY THAT!
I found this article posted today interesting; as it relates to your comments about philanthropy.
It highlights the fact that California is home to the most Billionaires in America. It also points-out that the state has the highest percentage of people living in poverty. It goes on to give a list of some of the "Billy" Californians, and aside from Evan Spiegel...who isn't old enough to comprehend philanthropy...it includes:
L.A.-born Orange County real estate magnate Donald Bren ($15.2 billion), part-time resident Rupert Murdoch ($13.9), medical device tycoon Patrick Soon-Shiong ($12.2), Tesla founder Elon Musk ($12), philanthropist Eli Broad ($7.2), Hollywood music man David Geffen ($6.9), Public Storage's Tamara Gustavson ($4.3), Steven Spielberg ($3.6), Power Ranger Haim Saban ($3.5), part-time Southern Californian Oprah Winfrey ($3), native, grocery tycoon and friend of Bill Clinton Ron Burkle ($2.6), born-again junk bond king Michael Milken ($2.5), tech beard Henry Nicholas III ($1.7), and online retailer Fred Chang ($1).
Of all those people, can you guess which two are the ones to have taken the giving pledge?
Of course...the rest incorporated from the beginning....greedy sobs.
