Billionaires vow to give away half their fortune

…their control is still key. What potential loss if in hands of non-entrepreneurial charities!

Imagine if this money was handed over without proper supervision!
In an article this morning in TheAge.com, 40 of America’s billionaires and their families have pledged to give more than half of their fortune to charity in a drive organised by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

Whilst it is a particularly noble gesture; make no mistake that unless they are prepared to also police it and make the necessary entrepreneurial decisions so that the money is not squandered but in fact expanded, then itmay well prove in time to be a fruitless exercise.

Mind you though, these people didn’t get where they are by being silly and emotional without being savvy, so I’m sure they’ll do it again with this venture.

Sadly though, not one woman rates in the list of the richest… what is that? Mind you, all 40 doing this have not been listed, so I can only hope there is some representation, but I’m sure there’s so much room for more. Ladies, it’s about time we rectified that little stat!

About theEmother
My story is one of being unemployed, homeless and a pregnant singleton who has morphed into the entrepreneurial mother®; by building & SELLing her 7-figure Mother of a Business, all in guilt-free school hours. If you're a mother, an aspiring primary breadwinner! and building your Mother of a Business as an asset to sell ... then the entrepreneurial mother® blog is for you. Why? specialising in "Connecting the Dots" is what building a Mother of a Business is all about. What I know for sure is that Business gives you Lifestyle, to be the Mother you long to be... So no surprise (I say modestly) that I now get many asking me how I did it and how I still do it. That's why this blog was born. It's my way of being able to reach as many of you as possible and making the most of the time I have available. Now is the time to embrace being deliberately entrepreneurial about how and why we do what we do. I look forward to e-meeting you... Denise Hall the entrepreneurial mother®
