Smile Bill Gates in DANGER


Hi friends!!

Mexican Businessman Charlos Helu becomes the second richest person

Quote:
The worlds richest man Bill Gates is having danger to his no. 1 Position among the rich person list.Bill gates is on 1st position from the past 13 years , but now a mexican business man Charlos slim helu is incresing his wealth which is turning out to be dangerous to gates.

Actually Helu is the Chairperson of Telmax, Telsel, and also the chief of America MOVIL. He just left Voren Buffet behind and became the Worlds Second richest man. The famous Business magazine of America FORBES says that buffet had $52.4 billions, and helu now has $53.1 billion.

Helu earned $23 billion in the past 14 months.and in the past two months he earned $4 billion among the $23 billion. This concludes with a FACT that if Helu continues to increase his money power like this then Gates will be in danger .

For now Gates has $56 billion.

While Helu is also been charged with over property and monopoly issues....

Bill donates only because he has to pay less tax if he donates (a law in US to encourage donations)

In my opinion, there's only one reason why rich Americans donate -- be it Steven Paul Jobs or William Henry Gates -- and the reason is to reduce tax.

Steve Jobs has donated quite a bit, so has Bill Gates. They're both donating to reduce the tax they have to pay.

I think the only rich American that donates without the intention of paying less tax is Oprah Winfrey.

Whatever the reasons are it is better to donate (even if it is to save tax) than to pay taxes to a war mongering nation like USA or a corrupt nation like India.

Face it: Gates does it only to reduce taxes.

Hehe. Didn't know that there was a "III" in his name.

And by the way, I'm interested in both of them -- I've watched almost all Gates' and Jobs' keynote addresses.

This is really stupid
If Bill Gates genuinely is concerned and donates money u say he does it to save taxes.
If he just sits on all his money he is anyway a moron!!!

So Both are vices is it??

I dunno if he does it for saving taxes but yes donating is far better than giving taxes. Also, the donation given by Gates is counted in leu of taxes only if he donates in US, isn't it?

Correct me here, but does the $100m donation he pledged to India and $X to other countries for fighting AIDS and other diseases also reduce his taxes in US?

Funny this is being discussed.
Philanthropy is a form of the "mature" human response called "altruism". (Not the literal definition but the psychoanalytic definition eg. a gangster donates money for charity to wipe away his guilt.)
"Denial" is termed as an "immature" response.
(I may be flamed for this but this a a fact. Sigmund Freud must have been flamed a lot too . b4 flaming, please pick up any decent clinical psychology book or look it up in Wikipedia )
Not that I ain't a fan of ol' Bill. He sure does deserve every penny he has (Not that my laments matter). Watched the recent Biography episode on him on The History Channel. But does that make him better than any1 else? I can't say.
The thing that matters is that if you feel inspired by some1, do something better.
The world is short of good people.

its good that you correct the statement MR. Radical.. but let me tell you a thing.. Sir William Henry Gates III is a person who should be an ideal for someone... If you are not inspired by him or you dont thing that he is some different then its only and lonely yours thinking.. many poeple will be thinking like you.. but i aint,,, the truth is that he is a man who is not my ideal... coz i am myself my ideal... you may think this as my attitude.. but this aint attitude.. this is self confidence.. and you know what.. i admire mr. gates for this self confidence.....

P.S.: As of December 31, 2006, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is worth 33 billion US dollars.

P.S.2: Charity seeks to raise money for Steve Jobs’ family
