I don't care what he spent on a land deal or anything else - he gave $25 million to this epidemic, and I'm grateful.

Me too. It is his money an he can do what he likes. Let's get the other mult-billionaires to do the same.

Where's George Soros. Why won't the Vatican drop ba-zillions? Others as well.

I hope Zuckerberg and all the other wealthy donors who contribute to modernizing West Africa's hospitals, labs and clinics, get a full accounting of every dollar spent! After 38 years, it darn well better be the fix this time! This is not the first time that money has been thrown to fix the ebola problem.

So, if you gave $100 to your favorite charity, you aren't allowed to buy anything more expensive for yourself ever again?

That's what you are saying.

I just don't get the sour attitude. He did a good thing.

Well, it depends on who you (they) are.

Everything is political with this one.

He did a good thing. period

ITA! How does the OP think wealth is grown? Intelligent, lucrative investments so that a $25 million "drop in the bucket" can eventually grow into a river of donations and solutions to so many of the world's ills.

I can only imagine what that kind of grant can do and lead to in the future.

Why would we assume the $25 million was sent to Africa ?

Hopefully, it's going to research. Bill Gates said his $50 million was going for research, and Gates is Zuckerberg's mentor.

Hi chickenbutt. I think you nailed it.

[straykatz]

Can't the OP just be happy that 25 million was donated.

Geez $25M is a lot of money for a country like that.

It seems like that money alone could take away the poverty, build homes and schools and hospitals and bring in fresh drinking water....for generations. Once these things are in place.....

Ebola could be cured and these people would still be suffering....

It's not for the country. It's for Ebola research and treatment, both of which would also benefit Americans.
