When you think of superheros, Batman would probably be in your top 5 – but I’m not convinced that Bill Gates would make it into many people’s first century of responses.

The question is, why not? He has a huge amount of money, probably has at least one butler…and most importantly has an ‘alter ego’ which saves thousands, if not millions, of lives globally.

What do Bill Gates and Batman have in common?

Our friends over at Frugal Dad have put together a very entertaining (they always are!) infographic which delves a little deeper into how the founder of Microsoft is using his wealth to improve society at large, as well as some facts about other players in the world of philanthropy.

Through the Gates Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates have given upwards of 48% of their total net worth to good causes, a staggering $28 billion. That does, of course, mean that they are still sitting on more than $28 billion…but everyone has to start somewhere, don’t they?
