But a large chunk goes into the Mr and Mrs Gates Charitable Trust for latter distribution. He can give away as much as he wants to in a year, that does not necessarily mean that it will be going to charities that year though.
The widows mite point (had to google that one) is a valid one, however much of his wealth is probably tied up in MSFT stock options and thus not yet availible for distribution.
Whichever way you look at it thoug $25Bn is a lot of anyones cash. I think Billy boy and Larry both agree they have enough personal wealth and want it to do some good in the world.
