Features: On June 25, 2006, "Stock God" Warren Buffett announced that he would donate 85% of his personal wealth (approximately $37 billion) to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, entrusting them to use it for charitable purposes. This massive donation pushed Buffett past Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, and Gates, making him the most generous philanthropist in history. It is said that the world's second-richest man, Buffett, personally gave a copy of Andrew Carnegie's book, "The Gospel of Wealth," to the world's richest man, Bill Gates. Gates also often read "The Gospel of Wealth" and used Carnegie's famous quote, "It is a shame to die with great wealth," as a self-motivator.
