    Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, joined one of the world’s most exclusive groups when she inherited her husband’s multibillion-dollar fortune in 2011 after the tech visionary’s death.
    Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced plans almost four years ago to donate 99 per cent of their Facebook shares to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a company that uses technology to solve challenges like eradicating disease and reforming the criminal justice system, according to its website.
    Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates, have also vowed to give away their some $108 billion fortune, going so far as to start the Giving Pledge along with their friend and fellow billionaire Warren Buffett.

    标题:劳伦·鲍威尔·乔布斯打算捐出她的巨额财产——————
    2011年,苹果已故联合创始人史蒂夫•乔布斯(Steve Jobs)去世后,劳伦•鲍威尔•乔布斯(Laurene Powell Jobs)继承了她丈夫的数十亿美元财产,加入了世界上最顶尖的集团公司之一。——————exclusive:上层社会的;高级的;排外的。
    Facebook首席执行官马克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)和妻子普莉希拉•陈(Priscilla Chan)近四年前宣布,计划将99%的Facebook股份捐赠给“陈-扎克伯格项目”(Chan Zuckerberg Initiative)。据该公司网站介绍,该公司利用科学技术来解决根除疾病和改革刑事司法体系等异议。
    微软创始人比尔·盖茨和他的妻子梅琳达·盖茨也宣誓捐出他们约1080亿美元的财产,甚至和他们的朋友、同为亿万富翁的沃伦·巴菲特一起发起了“捐赠誓言”。——————Giving Pledge:捐赠誓言

    网上虽然有一部分人认为慈善在西方是避税手段,但我倒是认为就算背后全是暗箱操作,只要有1%真正起到了慈善的作用,那也是相当好的了。
    所以,还是要鼓掌的~
