That's an unprecedented donation. Wow!

  1. Warren buffet is worth $67billion and has made a similar promise to donate 99% of his net worth to charity over his lifetime (which is admittedly a higher annual donation rate).

    Bill Gates is worth $80billion and has pledge 95%.

    Prince Al-Waheed bin Talal has donated $32billion "in the coming years".

    There is some concern around these big tech donations:

    "Increasingly, though, idealistic tech leaders find themselves giving back to a world that complains that they took too much in the first place. "
