随着亿万富翁在审查透明度和政治关系时退出,给予承诺的受欢迎程度正在下降。 The Giving Pledge's popularity is fading as billionaires withdraw amid scrutiny over transparency and political ties.

由沃伦·巴菲特和比尔·盖茨在2010年创立的捐赠保证会显示,新注册人数急剧下降,在2024年只有4亿富翁加入,在过去五年中只有43亿富翁加入。 The Giving Pledge, founded by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates in 2010, is seeing a sharp decline in new signups, with only four billionaires joining in 2024 and 43 in the past five years. 它曾经是一个引人注目的运动,现在面临美国亿万富翁对它的影响、透明度和政治联系日益持怀疑态度的日益减弱的兴趣。 Once a high-profile movement, it now faces waning interest among American billionaires, amid growing skepticism over its influence, transparency, and political ties. 盖茨基金会与杰弗里·埃普斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)的协会、为有争议的社会倡议提供的资金以及人们所认为的政治议程,都加剧了批评。 Criticism has intensified due to the Gates Foundation’s associations with Jeffrey Epstein, funding for controversial social initiatives, and perceived political agendas. 巴菲特停止了对基金会的捐款,并切断了与一个有联系的捐助者网络的联系,而一些签署方则已经退出。 Buffett has ended donations to the foundation and cut ties with a linked donor network, while some signatories have withdrawn. 尽管全球亿万富翁财富不断增长,但这一承诺的呼吁已经减少,反映了公众对精英慈善事业的更广泛的不信任。 Despite rising global billionaire wealth, the pledge’s appeal has diminished, reflecting broader public distrust in elite philanthropy.
