And as he settles into his gluttonous Seattle-area palace, the Microsoft mogul says he feels like waiting until he is 50 or 60 to give away the rest of his immense fortune. "Giving away money effectively is almost as hard as earning it in the first place," he says. Sure, Bill. Tell that to someone-anyone-in need.
