Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy
In 2012, Forbes Media co-hosted the first Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy with 161 billionaires, including Bill and Melinda Gates,Warren Buffett, Pete Peterson, Marc Benioff and others, who gathered to discuss and coordinate how strategically spend their money. In contrast to previous generations, they "expect to see the results of their philanthropy in their lifetime and have less interest in leaving a legacy. An increasing number of them are willing to partner, with people like themselves, with corporations or with the recipients to ensure greater effectiveness"[13]. Afterwards it became a yearly event.
