Very interesting. Some I would have known, some I was surprised. I would love to be on your list someday.

Interesting. Keep up the good work.
I can't imagine what I'd do with a billion dollars - I would have to give a lot of it away, but I'm sure I'd find ways to spend some of it!
Interesting and good informations. Good work andra.
All I can say is, go girls!
It's interesting. Not that we should know every dollare these ladies give to charity, if any, but if each of our countries had this much money, nobody would go hungry!
