22、nder to her children. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,” Horlick told the reports authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.” She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has p

23、ut an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car p

24、arking tickether father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy,” he has said, “is liking saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team”.
