Melinda Gates one of the biggest philanthropist in the world

Melinda Gates of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Melinda and Bill Gates have devoted much of their adult lives to philanthropy.
Over the course of their lifetimes, they've pledged to give away 95% of their wealth, and they've already donated billions of dollars to all sorts of causes all over the world.
When the Gates' pledged to give away the majority of their wealth, they were in their late 40's and 50's.
Recently, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan pledged something similarly generous — to give up 99% of their Facebook shares over the course of their lifetimes. They're in their early 30's.
Thanks in part to their very public shows of generosity from the Gates' and Zuckerbergs, more and more people are looking to get involved in philanthropy at younger and younger ages, I believe this is the best example to follow

Melinda Gates encouraged millennials to look for ways to give back in their own back yards, and to give away their time instead of money if they can't afford it.
She encouraged them to look within their communities for giving opportunities, whether it's spending a morning in a soup kitchen or helping at a local shelter.
Gates says even just one hour per month is enough time to make a significant impact in the community.
Gates also said it's important for young people to choose who they marry wisely. She noted that Priscilla Chan is a significant reason why the Zuckerbergs have been able to be so generous. "Priscilla brings a different perspective than Mark does, and so they're able to accomplish more together," Gates said.  "I'm excited to see what Priscilla and Mark do as a team.
