The rich are helping people - level 2
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife’s daughter was born last week, but the couple announced other interesting news. They say that they will give away 99% of their Facebook shares to a new charity. With this money, they want to help make the world a better place.
The shares are worth around 45 billion dollars. The couple are now on their maternity and paternity leave at the moment – they will announce more details when they return to work.
Other famous billionaires who are helping the world are, for example, Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates.
Difficult words: announce (to officially say something), share noun (part of a big business),maternity and paternity leave (the time when a mother or father do not work and are with their child).
