That’s right, we all have heard about the recent donation from the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg donating 99% of his family’s Facebook shares to charity, which estimates at about 45 billion dollars. However, even though that seems like a large amount of money, that’s not the highest donation we have seen. Another top contender is also the richest person on earth, Bill Gates. And although he too donates a lot to charity the man who won the number one spot is Warren Buffett.
