Bill Gates, before his marriage to Melinda and the subsequent forming of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, once gave $50,000 a year in charity annually in the form of computers to the Seattle Public Library. When asked in an interview why he wasn't more charitable, he answered "I just don't have the time to give charity." I give all of the credit for the foundation to Melinda, I suspect Bill Gates had little to do with it.
