Many people take to social media to share news of big events. On December 1st Facebook’s boss, Mark Zuckerberg, followed in the tradition he helped create, when he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced the birth of their daughter on the social-networking site, along with news that they will give away the majority of their fortune during their lifetimes.
Around 99% of the shares they own in Facebook, which today are worth around $ 45 billion, will go into the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). Their aim, they wrote, is to improve the world for their daughter and future generations. For now, the move allows Mr. Zuckerberg to relinquish wealth, but not control, as he will retain the votes associated with any shares transferred to CZI. He anticipates remaining the controlling stakeholder of Facebook "for the foreseeable future" , and plans to sell, or give away, no more than $ 1 billion of Facebook stock each year for the next three years.
Mr. Zuckerberg is far from the first tech titan to pledge billions to philanthropic activities, but he is following a slightly different path to Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder. Whereas the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a registered charity, the Zuckerbergs’ CZI will be a limited liability company (LLC ). Although charitable status comes with alluring tax breaks, strings are attached. Unlike charities, LLCs can lobby without restriction; the Zuckerbergs have said that CZI will get involved in policy debates.
The other flexibility LLC status allows is the freedom to invest in for-profit ventures that have a big social impact. In this, the Zuckerbergs are following in the footsteps of Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, an online marketplace, who grew frustrated by the constraints of charitable status.
Mr. Omidyar now oversees the Omidyar Network, which has for-profit and non-profit arms. Will Fitzpatrick, designer of this hybrid structure, claims that the for-profit arm can more easily invest in things that can be scaled up quickly. He gives the example of an investment in a solar lantern that cost less than $ 10 a unit, which meant people did not have to burn dangerous kerosene, and which he says would have been technically difficult to achieve through a private foundation.
What do we know about Pierre Omidyar?
选项
A、He does not like registered charity coming with strings.
B、He created eBay for non-profit purposes.
C、He suggested to Zuckerbergs to set up a limited liability company.
D、He made the Omidyar Network a subsidiary of eBay.
答案
A
解析
细节题。定位到第四和第五段:“慈善机构的身份做起事来有限制,皮埃尔对此大为不满。奥米迪亚先生现在监管着拥有非营利部门和营利部门的Omidyar网络公司。”由此可以得知,奥米迪亚不满慈善机构会受到限制,于是建立了Omidyar网络公司,马克-扎克伯格也效仿了这一做法。故答案选[A]。[B]“他出于非商业目的创立eBay”,属于过度延伸;[C]“他建议马克-扎克伯格建立有限责任公司”,文中并没有提到是奥米迪亚建议的;[D]“他使Omidyar成为了eBay的子公司”文中没有提到。
