Hmmmm - apart from Bill and Melinda Gates, who have been doing that forever...why?
Here is why - because they know something that we don't and they have suddenly seen where their greedy and heedless wealth leads.
Sorry, too late I think.

Speaking of billionaires, did you know that Gates is no longer the richest man in the world?
It's Carlos Slim.

No,
This is different. Headline news.
It is not headline news for no reason.
It is headline news because it is about people who have sat on their money. So what has changed.
Something big has changed, and it is not a change of heart by these greedy a holes. It is a change because they are scared of something.
