Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is to donate about $37bn (£20bn) - most of his vast personal fortune - to Bill Gates' charitable foundation.
Mr Buffett will hand 10 million shares in his Berkshire Hathaway firm to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In a statement, Mr and Mrs Gates said they were "awed" by the donation, thought to be the largest charitable gift ever made in the United States.

I don't like it one bit. I guess you do need those sweat shop workers good 'n strong though.

You are right he should just keep the vast majority of his wealth to himself. Screw charity, keep it.
What was his motivation?
During his interview, Mr Buffett explained that the death of his wife Susan was one of the reasons behind his donation to the Gates Foundation, because he had thought she would outlive him and handle the dispersal of his wealth.
I actually think that keeping ten billion is a bit greedy myself
They say a lot of things.
