Bill Gates lover at sætte ny donorrekord i 2009 – trods finanskrisen

Billionaire Bill Gates has issued a 20-page look at the state of his foundation, saying it will give out a record amount of money in 2009 even though the stock-market rout has hurt its endowment.

In the letter, aimed at partners of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Gates said the value of the charitys endowment dropped 20 per cent in 2008, faring better than many of its peers and many large investment funds.
