Status: offline 		Buffet and Bill Gates are self made billionaires. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Being born rich would seem to create people with less than a true picture of the world. I'd bet if you look into it, most of the ultra charitable, are self-made.

She'll probably spend it all on her dog, Estring. I don't see her IQ rising, and I don't see her developing into one of the world's great philanthropists.
