"Sensible estimates generally have 7 or 8 digits."

I think that understates their impact, because so many of their programs are aimed at improving the quality of those lives - beyond saving them - like childhood nutrition, education, and family planning.

They also were relatively early on the Open Data movement and Gates Open Research is under-appreciated. And the Giving Pledge has magnified Gates' impact and set such a positive example.

In tech, in the nineties, I would have been beyond skeptical that Bill Gates would become one of the greatest philanthropists that the world has ever seen. He's really redeemed himself and then some.
