Rich people are stingy??


Me and my friend hangout at "mamak" stall today. This is like a routine for me.. we just hangout and talk about any topic that come cross in our mind. Suddenly my friend come out with a statement.. " i think the top richest people in the world must be stingy... they wont donate their wealth.. because people who always donate their wealth cant be rich". This statment have it own sense.. but it dont have any evidence to support it.. so i do some research.. and found out this..


The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF) is the largest transparently operate private foundation in the world, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates in 2000 and doubled in size by Warren Buffett in 2006. The primary aims of the foundation are, globally, to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty, in the United States. This foundation worth 38.7 billion USD



Bill gates - 3rd richest people in the world - 58 billion USD



Warren Buffet - Richest people in the world - 62 billion USD






This had shown that my friends have done Fallacy of hasty generalisation
