Richard Branson has experienced quite a lot in his 62 years. The founder of Virgin Group, Branson — in fact, Sir (ed. note: please italicize) Richard Branson — founded his company in 1971 as a simple record shop in London. Over the years, he transformed it into a multinational corporation with interests in media, air travel and space tourism. He is now worth, by the estimation of Forbes, $4.2 billion.
Last week, Branson stunned the world again when he decided to give his wealth away. The outspoken Brit has become the latest mogul to sign the Giving Pledge, the initiative founded by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates to convince the world's richest people to donate at least half their wealth to charity. In addition to Buffett, Branson and the Gates (who, combined, have a net worth that exceeds $115 billion) here are other famous billionaires who have pledged to give up their fortunes.

So who got the money and what did they do with it?

[Glass]

No one got the money. They put it in a tax free foundation and then manage the philanthropy portion themselves by giving 5% per year to projects that they support. So in Bill and Melinda's case, the genocide of African and Indo peoples. The 5% figure is required for the foundation to be tax exempt. It's a sweet deal. They look good, get to pay less tax and kill people with kindness as well.

It will be interesting to see what clever projects Branson comes up with. I'm sure it will be God's work... which ever god that is.

I'm trying to figure out the angle...and yes, I think there is always an angle with these people.
Like maybe funding projects they indirectly profit from. They look like great people in the process.

A way to give it to the Zionist without anyone suspecting anything.......pretty smart of them.
