“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,”said Sallie Krawcheck,president of the Global Wealth and Investment Management of the Bank of America.“Our research,however,uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”
The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates,who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife,the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会),and not to his children.
“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,”he said.
Of his plans for his children,Gates said:“I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”
