Bill Gates Plans Continued Work for Decades

Bill Gates, at 68, has expressed a strong desire to continue working full-time for another '20 or 30 years' if his health allows, inspired by his friend Warren Buffett, who still works six days a week at 94. Gates finds the idea of reducing his work schedule 'awful' and has no plans to retire, maintaining his roles at Microsoft and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He is particularly committed to ongoing efforts in global health, aiming to eradicate diseases like polio and malaria, and reduce childhood mortality rates as the foundation approaches its 25th anniversary. Gates is also set to star in a five-part Netflix docuseries titled 'What’s Next?' which will explore future challenges and opportunities. Although he acknowledges a slower pace compared to his younger years, Gates emphasizes his commitment to philanthropy and innovation in technology. His evolving work-life balance reflects advice from Buffett, who has encouraged him to prioritize personal well-being alongside professional commitments.
