A Most Influential Man Of The World
The world famous journal "Forbes" presented a list of the most influential people of the world. You might be thinking of the ruler of the only super power of the world, the president Obama, or Chinese president or Russian prime minister, but you are wrong. This status was occupied by the second wealthiest person of the world, Bill Gates.
This status he was bestowed not due to his wealth, power or reputation but Bill got this award as he is busy in serving the humanity for the last 15 years. The major share of billion dollars that he earned has been spent on the improvement of the health facilities for poor, make them get rid of poverty and to bring improvement in the education system of the United States. Today Bill Gates has $ 54 billion but if he would have not donated $ 26 billion dollars ( PKR 2200 billion) to his own welfare organization " Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" then he would have been the owner of more wealth than the Mexican richest man Carlose Salim who has $74 billion.
Bill and Melinda Foundation was started in 1994, since then it has spent $25 billion on health, poverty eradication and spreading of knowledge and education projects. One can imagine the vastness and its circle of action from the spendings of billion of dollars. This organization at present has assets of more than $ 37 billion (PKR 3200 billion) that makes it the biggest NGO of the world.
