Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates. On July 15th, Paul Allen announced that he will be giving away half of his fortune to philanthropy–an estimated $13.5 billion.
This public commitment to giving has been sharpened by a recent project called, The Giving Pledge, by Mr. Gates and Warren E. Buffett, which calls upon the nation’s billionaires to devote half their fortunes to charity.
Eli and Edythe Broad, John and Ann Doerr are among those that have signed on to the challenge.
