Bill Gates says he will give away almost all of his money over next 20 years


During the 25th anniversary celebration of the Gates Foundation, Bill Gates has announced that he was planning to give away "virtually all" of wealth within the next 20 years.

In all, he expects to distribute approximately $200 billion until the foundation shuts down on December 31, 2045, which as The New York Times notes is decades before originally intended. In an interview with The Times, Gates said that he and his team believe they can achieve their humanitarian goals within a much shorter period than they originally thought. It seems as if the foundation intends to bridge gaps left after the pandemic and to fill the hole the current US administration will be leaving after its massiv e cuts to foreign aid.
