Bill Gates has funded his charitable foundation with how many billions? (I don't know- do you have that information?)

How about Warren Buffet? He is donating 40 or so BILLION to Gates Foundation, upon his death. Not ignoring his kids entirely- will leave them a few billion to get by on, but bulk of his estate going to charity.
