Bill Gates has announced an accelerated philanthropic effort, pledging around $200 billion to the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years. This change from his original plan of a longer timeline is driven by the urgent needs he perceives in today's world and the innovative solutions available. Gates emphasizes his desire to ensure his legacy reflects charitable giving rather than wealth accumulation, stating he wants to spend significantly to tackle pressing issues like health innovations. The foundation is set to close by 2045, indicating a structured end to his financial contributions to charity.
I want to spend it on an even higher level than we are right now because I see the pipeline of innovations. Some are pretty straightforward, like vitamins for pregnant women or things that are complicated, like AI health delivery or gene editing to cure HIV.
People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that 'he died rich' will not be one of them.
