  The Giving Pledge website states: "This pledge is a moral commitment to give, not a legal contract. It is not necessary to support or invest money in specific good deeds or charitable organizations." Buffett has also written that his 2006 decision to pledge to give away 99 percent of his wealth made him extremely happy.

  On August 4, 2010, the Giving Pledge initiative, launched by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett, announced that 40 billionaires or families have pledged to give more than half of their wealth to charity. The endowment amounts to $600 billion. "Whether you're working in a lab, writing stories in a newsroom, focusing on climate change or fighting infectious diseases, remember: Impact is all about saving lives and creating opportunities for all people to reach their full potential." Therefore, Bill Gates' idea of philanthropy is: we are not helping others, we are accomplishing ourselves.
