After 25 years of charitable giving, Melinda French Gates has firmly established herself as a prominent philanthropist, yet she has raised critical questions about the philanthropic contributions of some of her billionaire peers.

In a candid interview with the New York Times, French Gates shed light on her views regarding the charitable efforts of high-profile figures such as hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, Block CEO Jack Dorsey, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

French Gates stated unequivocally, “They use their voice and they use their megaphones, but I would not call those men philanthropists.”

This assertion emphasizes her belief that true philanthropy extends beyond merely making donations; it encompasses a commitment to societal change and impactful giving.

She urged that while some of these billionaires have taken public pledges, such as the Giving Pledge, their actual philanthropic contributions remain questionable.

“Go look at their record of actually giving money to society. It’s not big,” she remarked, highlighting a stark contrast between her approach to philanthropy and that of others in her tax bracket.

French Gates’ comments not only criticize individual practices but also serve as a call to action for billionaires to re-evaluate their contributions to society.
