Death wishes are not especially welcome here, even in jest. Whatever.

Bill G is not my all time favorite person. But it's worth noting that
Bill Gates has done and is doing a very large amount of good with "the
money he has". The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation is putting
resources into major world problems with a major emphasis on those
affecting developing countries. [Some people may need to be careful
with how they comment on that!](Not you Electron).
eg A step on the path to a cure for AIDS, or a major anti-malaria
breakthrough, MAY eventuate because TBaMGF are prepared to fund
somewhat more esoteric and leading edge research than many - along
with more standard research as well. =A0(They declined to give ne money
for a "sure-fire" malaria reduction system :-) ).

I don't know what Steve Jobs did in major humanitarian terms with his
money - maybe a lot maybe not, I just don't know. Nobody is compelled
to spend their $ in this way, but those who do probably deserve to
have it noticed at least to an extent.
