5 A Work in pairs.

Read about what some super-rich people do with their money,

and discuss the questions.

1 Which projects/donations do you think are the most useful for the world?

The most interesting projects for the world are: education for girls from poor
families and also loans to the poor to start their businesses.

2 Are there any that you think are not especially useful? Why?

For me the projects of Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson are not useful because it
is not interesting for life, I see it as a waste of money.

3 Do you know of any other super-rich people who do interesting things with
their money?

Yes, for example Leo Messi is a well known athlete and has his foundation where
he helps children in situations of risk, providing health, education and sports;
Shakira has her Pies Descalzos foundation that seeks to promote quality public
education among children and girls and young people at risk of exclusion in
Colombia; Selena Gomez has her Rare Impact Fund, a foundation that plans to
raise funds to subsidize medical treatment for low income people, etc.

B If you had billions of dollars to invest in something interesting or useful, what

project would you start? Think about who it would help, where you would do it,
and how long it would last.

If I had millions of dollars I would create a foundation against breast cancer and
thus be able to help many women with low economic resources, the project
would be done exclusively in the city where I am living; also look for partners so
that the project lasts for many years and is beneficial for many women.
