Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are calling on the rich to give it away. They are asking billionaires to make a public giving pledge to donate at least half of their fortunes to charities and other good causes. Those who make the giving pledge will be invited to an annual summit for great givers. Buffet has himself pledged to give 99% of his wealth away, most of it to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
