When I played golf at a high level, I never thought I would have a career doing anything else in life regarding a career. I had practiced my whole life and had dedicated vast amounts of time to the sport. I’d sacrificed to be successful at the highest level. Other plans were in store when I found out that, due to a back disease, my ability to play golf at a high level would be forever changed.

In 2006, Warren Buffett said he would give 85 percent of his Berkshire stock – valued then at over $40 billion – to five foundations, with most of the money going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
