“I Will Continue To Give Away My Money Until I Become Poor” – Former World Richest Man Laments

The fourth richest man in the world, Bill Gates says he wants to be yanked off the list of the world’s wealthiest people by choice because he wants to give away most of his money.

Bill Gates who is worth around $122 billion, says he planned to hand over almost all financial assets to his charity foundation beginning with a donation of $20 billion.

According to the Microsoft founder, as he looks to the future, he wants to give virtually all of his wealth to the foundation, he said via a tweet.

He said will move down and eventually off the list of the world’s richest people. Bill Gates is the richest founder and is also the biggest philanthropist of all time with his ex-wife, Melida.

The Independent report said that the couple set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in their name in 2000 to tackle poverty, disease and inequity around the globe, especially in developing countries, including funding vaccines.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the world’s wealthiest philanthropic organisations. Gates announced that the foundation now plans to increase its spending from almost $6 billion a year to $9 billion by 2026.
