Bill Gates spends his fortune of 200 billion dollars on charity

Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft and one of the most famous billionaires in the world, has announced one of the biggest and most important decisions of his life. According to him, over the next 20 years, Gates plans to spend almost all of his wealth on charity for the benefit of the people of the world through the Gates Foundation.

“Over the next 20 years, I will direct all of my wealth to saving lives and improving the well-being of people on a global scale. I will do this through the Gates Foundation. On December 31, 2045, the foundation will officially cease its activities,” Gates wrote in his statement.

According to him, this initiative is intended to use $ 200 billion for the benefit of all humanity. This is noted as one of the largest private aid projects in the history of charity.

Health and human life are the priority areas

Gates said that these funds will be directed mainly to preventive measures, medical programs and the fight against poverty. In his opinion, it is necessary to protect newborns, children and mothers from dying from "preventable causes". Also, one of the main goals will be to eliminate serious diseases such as polio, malaria, measles, tuberculosis and AIDS from the world.

Indirect criticism of Trump and philosophical conclusion

According to Reuters, Gates indirectly criticized former US President Donald Trump through his statement. The reason is that the Trump administration has reduced or stopped a number of international aid programs.

Bill Gates also expressed his personal philosophy:
"People may have different opinions after I die. But I don't want them to say, 'He died rich,'" he said.

His words once again confirm that values ​​and humanity are more important than money.

The future and financial scale of the foundation

The Gates Foundation, founded in 2000 by Bill Gates and his then-wife Melinda Gates, was originally planned to operate for many years after their deaths. However, Gates has now announced that he has decided to accelerate this and spend the charitable funds during his lifetime.

Since its inception, the Gates Foundation has allocated more than $ 100 billion to fight diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, as well as education and humanitarian projects.

According to Bloomberg, Bill Gates' current total wealth is approximately $ 108 billion.

This decision by Gates can be assessed not only as a financial but also as a humanitarian event. His initiative sets a balance between big business and global responsibility. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
