Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan say they will give away 99% of their shares in the company to good causes as they announce the birth of their daughter Max.

Mr Zuckerberg made the announcement in a letter to Max on his Facebook page.

He said they are donating their fortune to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative because they want to make the world a better place for Max to grow up in.

Mr Zuckerberg said the donation currently amounts to $45bn (£30bn).

Who is in charge of the Chan Zuckerburg Initiative or the Gates Foundation?

The world is about power.

Very much an American thing.

It seems very laudable but can be destructive when rich people donate a large amount of money to some historical institution, say, change their minds, take it back, and leave the recipient worse off than they found them in the first place.

But who could I possibly mean? :)

Arseholes who put double and triple bids on eBay stuff.

They cheer me up because I will be making them pay a lot more for that item than if they just waited, or put a single bid on.
