Bill Gates tells his foundation to spend it all by 2045

Bill Gates has announced he will donate 99% of his $107 billion fortune within 20 years, marking a significant shift from the previous plan to close his foundation upon his death. This decision coincides with key anniversaries, including his father's centenary and Microsoft's 50th anniversary, reflecting his commitment to philanthropy. His move is expected to surpass Warren Buffett’s historic $160 billion donation, underscoring his growing dedication to global causes as he approaches significant milestones in his life.
