Maybe you should start your foundation today rather than complaining that others don't do enough on an internet forum. One of those is more productive than the other.
What I meant by starting a "foundation" is setting up a non-profit company on paper. I have nowhere near the financials to fund it though.
But yes, I agree, this is not productive at all. My bad.
In any case, he was a billionaire several times over by then. The MS IPO was over 30 years ago.
Edit: Now that I re-read my comment, I come off as an arrogant prick. Sorry about that.
All I really meant to say was that setting up a foundation != charitable work. Any poor guy - like me for example - can setup a foundation, but it will only exist on paper.
