I would love to have had much more money so that I could be a philanthropist.

The most amazing philanthropists are people who are actually making a significant sacrifice.

My goal is to work diligently to become the top philanthropist in the world.

You can invest in companies, you can help grow companies, you can be a venture capitalist - and be a philanthropist at the same time.

I want to spread the message in the U.S. that there are good philanthropists in China, and not all are crazy spenders on luxury goods.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

You can't have personal investors anymore because it's too expensive, so you have to have corporate investment or a lot of rich people.

Most philanthropists want to be effective altruists. But the problem isn't intention: it's measurement. Unlike financial investing, which has reporting standards, audit processes, and educational requirements, social investing is notoriously tricky to evaluate.

The competition between me and Bill Gates, probably: Who can spend money more effectively that can do better philanthropy.

If I get the chance to be philanthropic, I want to help kids and teachers.
