Bill Gates is what, a bajillionaire now? (Actually, according to a recent Forbes article, he’s merely a billionaire. Well, then.) But he’s also a nice super-rich dude: Each year, he gives away tons of money through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which supports funding for health care, education and poverty (among other things). He’ll chat about his philanthropic endeavors and more at the 92nd Street Y on November 11 with The Economist’s Matthew Bishop, himself no stranger to charity (his newest book is called Philanthrocapitalism—apparently, the two concepts can mesh successfully).
Tickets to the event are on sale now (go to 92y.org to grab ’em), but will likely sell out. If you can’t shell out $50, no worries: We’ve got you covered. Simply e-mail ownthiscity@timeoutny.com by Tuesday evening, and tell us why you want to see the richest man in America speak; you could win two tickets to the event. (Just don’t try to ask him for money once you’re there. That would be totally uncool.)
