Bill Gates has praised Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to philanthropy, stating that Zuckerberg is off to a "very good start" with his plan to donate 90% of his wealth through the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative. Gates, who has also pledged to donate the majority of his wealth to charitable causes, sees Zuckerberg as a key figure among the next generation of philanthropists. This comes at a time when the tech industry is witnessing a growing trend of wealthy entrepreneurs embracing large-scale charitable giving. The Gates Foundation, co-founded by Bill and Melinda Gates, is one of the largest private foundations in the world and focuses on global health and development, education, and poverty alleviation. Gates has also acknowledged the contributions of other tech moguls who are part of the Giving Pledge, a campaign he co-founded with Warren Buffett to encourage billionaires to donate a significant portion of their wealth to charitable causes.
