I think there are certainly others who give way more in time and effort than those on this list, but this is the list of biggest givers as far as money. Warren Buffett is way out in front. He strikes me as a genius investor, but a normal down to earth guy. $40 billion! Good for Warren.

    I believe it is the responsibility and duty for those who are blessed to share with those who are less fortunate, whether it be financial, as a volunteer, or other charitable means.
    Just my 2 cents
