Buffet donates $2 Billion a year to the B&M Gates Foundation and while that sounds like a lot it isn't, comparatively speaking and with capital growth factored in.
Gates & Buffet are both still listed in the Top 3 wealthiest men alive according to most estimates yet the media tells us that they are great philanthropists?
Gates and Buffet are following in the footsteps of John D Rockefeller who was hated by most people, for most of his life. Towards the end of his life he wanted to change his public persona so he hired the pioneer of propaganda and public relations (Edward Bernays) to create a public relations campaign to sway public opinion - and they were of course successful. The name of the game that they play is called
perception management'.
As they say - the rest is HIS STORY!
