Spanx founder joins Giving Pledge
May 7, 2013: 12:58 PM ET

Sara Blakely and eight other billionaires joined Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates' Giving Pledge, promising to devote at least 50% of their wealth to philanthropy.

FORTUNE -- Nine new signers of The Giving Pledge -- the philanthropic effort initiated three years ago by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates -- were announced today, and one of the billionaires signing is the 42-year-old founder of lingerie company Spanx, Sara Blakely. She starts off her letter -- to be posted on the Giving Pledge website -- in a way no other signer will be able to emulate.

"Since I was a little girl," she says, "I have always known I would help women. In my wildest dreams I never thought I would have started with their butts."
