Bill Gates, co-chairman of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, plans to close the Gates Foundation and give way his personal wealth. He said that when he dies, people will say a lot of things about him but he is determined that ”he died rich” will not be one of them.
His net worth is currently estimated at $168 billion. He plans to disburse his fortune and close the doors of the Gates Foundation on December 31, 2025. Since the Foundation’s launch in 2000, it has contributed more than $100 billion to global causes-mainly to eradicate poverty and diseases, to address climate change and to expand access to healthcare and education.
His goals for the next two decades include reducing the deaths of mothers and young children from preventable causes, to help eradicate diseases like polio, malaria and measles, funding advances in education and agriculture in African nations to help millions of people to break free from poverty.
