This paper analyzes the Giving Pledge, initiated by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates, where billionaires commit to donating at least half their wealth. It reveals a largely traditional approach to philanthropic giving among signatories, with limited evidence of transformational efforts. The majority of pledgers are older and from non-technology sectors. While letters articulate ethical principles, they are generally vague on specific giving strategies.
