I believe with great fortunes come great responsibility, so with our family's assets and many wealthy friends, we could help raise a lot of money to help others.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had one idea that never changed in my mind - that you should use your wealth to help people.
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
Generous people can become more generous as they become richer, giving away vast fortunes to worthwhile causes as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are doing.
With wealth, one is in a position of responsibility. You must try to help others. It is as simple as that.
I strongly believe that those of us who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.
More effective than giving away half my fortune before I die is finding a way to help people have a good-paying job.
Today, we don't blink an eye when the world's wealthiest individuals donate enormous sums of money to charitable causes. In fact, we expect them to do so.
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
My family and I have been blessed with good fortune in the world of business. We've created quite a net worth. My children, two boys, have more money than they will ever need, and they aren't empire builders.
There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.
