Steve Jobs Responds to Warren Buffet’s Philanthropic Pledge


Famous billionaire, Warren Buffet, made headlines yesterday when he pledged 99% of his wealth to charity.

So, what happened when Mr. Buffet contacted Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, via email? Let’s find out!

    Donation should normally com from the heart, and not just give so that people know you do. If you choose to help a random kid around the world, its not to be known, but because you feel for him. As for Steve, he is NOT obliged to give money. I am pretty some of you reading this have never given. You must not have much to give, the little you have, you can give (even if its a dollar). So stop judging others on their actions, and nothing proofs he does not give in private.
    funny though
