Bill Gates is not only the world`s most successful capitalist; he`s the world`s biggest philanthropist. Gates has approached philanthropy the same way he revolutionized computer software: with a fierce ambition to change the rules of the game. That`s why at last year`s annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Gates advocated a `creative capitalism`, in which big corporations should integrate doing good into their way of doing business.
