Giving Back is Fun

Bill Gates says he's optimistic that the Warren Buffett gift will spark more of the nation's superrich to become donors while they are still alive.

"I hope we're seeing a rise in philanthropy and that people with wealth will give wealth back and give it back at a younger age," Gates said.

"Ted Turner started it all by scolding people. We're trying to complement that by showing how much fun it can be."
