Bill Gates Donates Nearly $100 Billion to Philanthropy

Bill Gates has revealed he has donated over $100 billion to charitable causes through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, focusing on eradicating diseases and reducing poverty, particularly in developing countries. Despite his extensive philanthropy, Gates remains the seventh-richest person globally, with a net worth of $164 billion, and stated that giving away his wealth has not impacted his lifestyle. He emphasized that philanthropy is now his primary focus, asserting he has more to give and enjoys the process. Gates co-founded the Giving Pledge in 2006, encouraging other billionaires to commit a majority of their wealth to charity, similar to his longtime friend Warren Buffett, who has donated significantly to the same cause. While Gates' wealth has seen fluctuations, particularly post-divorce, he continues to prioritize his philanthropic efforts. His recent memoir, 'Source Code: My Beginnings,' further highlights his commitment to sharing his journey and legacy in philanthropy.
