I just thought about it.
Bill Gates' personal fortune is $58,000,000,000. Microsoft got 90,000 employees.
What if Bill Gates' personal fortune was equally distributed to every employees? Every employees would receive $644,000.
What would you say? Bill Gates is the boss, he has the right to be richer than his employees? We may or we may not agree.
But let's say he just keeps $20,000,000, which is way more than what he needs to feed his family for a few century, and give all the rest to his employees, would that make everyone happier?
After all, does the the PDG works about two million time more than the coffee-addicted night-shift programmer, as he got a 60 billion dollars bank account while a typical employee is lucky to get over $30,000 when it is time to retire?
What to say about what I call "money pits"?
In case you missed, he retired and donated half of his personal fortune to charity.how much did you donated today?
