Gates blasts Berlusconi for wasting money on hair transplant

New York, January 31 (ANI): Bill Gates has slammed Italian Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi for wasting money on hair transplantion instead of supporting world's starving people.

The Microsoft founder criticized the leader for his "stinginess" with foreign aid and put him at the top of his "list of shame."

"Dear Silvio, I am sorry to make things difficult for you, but you are ignoring the poor people of the world." the New York Post quoted him as telling the German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau.

Gates also told the Suddeutsche Zeitung: "Rich people spend a lot more money on their own problems -- like baldness -- than they do to fight malaria." (ANI)
