I wonder how Gates' charitable givings 8 years ago compare to Bezos' today. I suspect Bezos wouldn't look fantastic by comparison.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, isn't it closer to 20 years? 1975 and 1994

No shit. The comment you're responding to included the words "catching up"...

I interpreted "catching up" in terms of net worth not age.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I took it the other way. It is rather ambiguous.
