Basic education for all: $6 billion
Water and sanitation for all: $9 billion
Basic health and nutrition: $13 billion

...Of course, they are too huge for any one individual.

$6 billion + $9 billion + $13 billion = $28 billion

$28 billion < $44 billion

Apparently not.

I thought so too, but the estimates are about annual costs, and the Forbes top billionaires can spend their money only once each.

In that case, I'll retract my comment. Thanks for the correction.
