第2154期：The Giving Pledge 捐赠誓言

2010年，比尔盖茨（Bill Gates）和巴菲特（Warren Buffett）联合发起了一个项目，倡议全世界的超级富豪们把自己财富的大部分（一半以上）用于慈善事业。他们把这个项目称为 The Giving Pledge（捐赠誓言）。

截止2022年6月，全世界共有来自28个国家和地区的236位超级富豪参与了这个项目，发布了自己的捐赠誓言。

“Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks (Berkshire Hathaway stock certificates) on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others.” – Warren Buffett

“My mom never had the opportunity to see the Giving Pledge, but I like to think she’d see her influence in its work if she could. I’m lucky that my dad—who played a huge role in shaping my philanthropy—lived to see the pledge become a reality. He used to say, ‘There’s no problem bigger than we are.’ I never doubted him, but the work of the Giving Pledge gives me absolute certainty that he was right.” – Bill Gates
