Gates will retire this week and will give away all $58 billion.
Sina Science and Technology News reported on June 23, Beijing time, according to foreign reports, Bill Gates, chairman of the board of directors of Microsoft, said in a recent interview with foreign ** that he would donate all his $58 billion property to charity in his name, and would not leave a penny to his children.
A hilarious scene of Gates' resignation.
Gates will officially retire from the day-to-day management of Microsoft on the 27th of this month and devote his main energy to philanthropy. In an interview with the British BBC TV program "Newsnight", he said that he would donate all of his $58 billion to the charity Bill & Melinda Gates.
Gates said he hopes he will make a positive contribution to the world. He plans to donate his entire fortune to his charitable Bill & Melinda Gates Society to fund education and health projects around the world. Thirty years ago, Gates founded the software empire Microsoft and has been leading the company ever since.
However, he will soon step down as chairman of Microsoft's executive board and step down from day-to-day management. The 52-year-old will not be fully retired, and he will continue to serve as the non-executive chairman of Microsoft, working one day a week at Microsoft.
Gates said it was a joint decision between him and his wife to donate his entire fortune to charity. "We have decided not to leave our property to our children, and we want to give back to society in the way we can make the most positive impact," he said.
At the same time, Gates said that he did not want to leave his property to his children, because if he did, it would be equivalent to acknowledging his own children as the most important thing. For the past 13 years, he has been the richest man in the world until he was surpassed by Warren Buffett this year.
When Microsoft was founded, Gates' goal was to bring computers into every office and every home. Many in the industry believe that the computer revolution would not have happened without Gates and the Windows operating system. After Gates leaves office, Steve Balmer, who has been CEO since 2000, will succeed him as Microsoft's "number one man."

Bill gates. With another $20 billion to be donated this month, there are reasons why Bill Gates doesn't want to leave his legacy to his children and grandchildren, most importantly, because he wants to eliminate global inequalities, and at the same time, he wants to accomplish the good work that is deep in his heart.
1. Bill Gates will donate another $20 billion <> this month
According to the current statement of Bill Gates, Bill Gates donated $20 billion in cash again this month, which can be said to be a rather exaggerated figure, according to his ** club said that the ** meeting will also use all the money donated by Bill Gates for public welfare, and is also committed to completing the purpose of this ** meeting. Bill Gates has been donating his funds to the ** club for many years, and at present, not only his ** will be spending, but at the same time, Bill Gates is also spending his own money to recharge the ** club.
2. Reasons for not leaving a legacy to future generations: Reducing the <> of global inequalities
According to the reasons explained by Bill Gates, Bill Gates will continue to donate these funds to his own ** club, and even if his ranking in the global rich list has been declining, he will do his best to return resources to the whole society, and he also hopes that other people with huge wealth like him can do the same. In fact, there is a specific reason why Bill Gates does not want to leave his legacy to his children and grandchildren, that is, he will want to reduce the inequality that exists around the world, although Bill Gates himself is the most concrete representative of inequality.
3. The evaluation of this kind of thinking of his <>
In fact, many people are questioning Bill Gates, this is to donate his property to avoid taxes, but according to what Bill Gates and his ** will do at present, in fact, his ** will always fulfill the purpose of the ** meeting, and Bill Gates will gradually donate his property as originally said, and it should be noted that Bill Gates's rich ranking is also getting worse. with Elon Musk.
The difference is that Bill Gates is talking about it, and Musk is investing all the money he saves into the company's production, which are two completely different ways.
-
Because his children and grandchildren are also rich, they do not need his inheritance, but it is better to donate it to those in need.
-
Everyone's values are different, and Bill Gates may prefer his children and grandchildren to rely on their own abilities to create wealth, rather than gnaw at the old.

Bill gates.
Another $20 billion will be donated and it has announced that it will donate all its wealth in the future. Bill Gates feels that it is his duty to give back to the society with the resources he has, and he also calls on other rich people on the rich list to join him. This approach will play a very big role, and I believe that many people must be very grateful to Bill Gates for his kindness this time.
Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda founded a joint association in 2000, and the amount of donations from this association has exceeded $39 billion. This is a very large number, and I believe that the money must be used in the right way. At the same time, while these rich people enjoy more social and educational resources, they have not forgotten that there is still inequality on the planet.
I believe that Bill Gates's actions will definitely serve as an example, and Bill Gates has now become the biggest philanthropist, which is an honorary title that represents his contribution to the development of society. <>
In today's society, many people struggle for money all their lives. And I feel that as long as I have the same wealth as Bill Gates, I will definitely live a happier life. But this is just everyone's imagination, and when you are dominated by money, you will definitely feel that you have lived a different life.
At the same time, money does not buy happiness. Bill Gates will put his money on gender equality and poverty alleviation, which will help those in a disadvantaged position to enjoy more benefits. <>
When you have a part of your money, you must learn to use it wisely. For Bill Gates himself, he has enjoyed what many people do not enjoy, maybe money is just paper and does not make him happier. Therefore, Zhifu chose to return to his original life in other ways, so Bill Gates should be praised by everyone, and he should be given a thumbs up, so as to better feel the value and significance of everyone's existence in this society.

I believe that when you have tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of assets, how will you deal with this huge amount of wealth, in China's traditional values, most of the wealth created by the fathers can be inherited by their children and grandchildren, but in developed countries in Europe and the United States, many super-rich people tend to donate their property to charity clubs set up in private names, recently Bill Gates announced on social platforms that he will donate $20 billion to Bill Melinda Gates this month.
Bill Gates, as the richest man in the world, the huge wealth he has created is often beyond the reach of others, counting this donation, he and his ex-wife Melinda have donated $55 billion to the ** club set up under their name, so Bill Gates has undoubtedly become the largest philanthropist in history.
After all, as a world-class super-rich man, he has been in the top five of the international rich list for many years, and now he has fallen to seventh in the world on the authoritative Forbes rich list due to his donation of 20 billion US dollars. But Bill Gates did not think so about the slip judgment of such a ranking, thinking that he would still continue to donate personal property to his name in the following years.
Bill Gates nominally announced that he would donate a huge amount of wealth to the ** Association, the purpose of which is to give back to the society, but anyone who can understand some of the unspoken rules hidden under its operation knows that especially for a capitalist country like the United States, in fact, since a hundred years ago, the United States began to levy an inheritance tax, with a maximum tax rate of 40%. If Bill Gates leaves his huge wealth to future generations, then he must bear nearly half of the inheritance tax, which must be the most unwilling phenomenon for him and his family, so he is also trying to set up a private charity **, which can reasonably avoid inheritance tax.

I think his old behavior is a really great act. Because his donation is a very large amount, which can help more poor and needy people, and make a great contribution to world peace and accelerate the evolution of human society. You can also give your descendants a good name to get more stupid resources.
Don't let your descendants sit back and enjoy their success, let them be more self-reliant.
-
This kind of behavior is very touching, he is a very caring person and is able to donate his assets to those in need.
-
I think it's better for him to act like this, because people can't be born with death, and it's best for us to achieve the greatest deification of our own life value.

In March 2019, he ranked second on the 2019 Forbes Global Billionaires List with a wealth of $96.5 billion.
Today's Bill Gates is worth $90 billion, and it is understood that from 1995 to 2007, Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world by Forbes for 13 consecutive years and the richest man in the United States by Forbes for 20 consecutive years.
On September 29, 2014 local time in the United States, Forbes released a list of the top 400 richest people in the United States, showing that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been the richest man in the United States for the 21st consecutive year with a wealth of $81 billion.
Regarding Bill Gates's worth, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates seems to have been synonymous with "the richest man in the world" since the day he became famous, and he can be described as an evergreen in this field.
In the previous evaluation results given by the well-known wealth appraisal **wealth-x, Gates was once again named the richest man in the world with a net worth of $87.4 billion. In 2016, the Hurun Research Institute released the "2016 Hurun Global Rich List", and Bill Gates became the world's richest man with a fortune of 520 billion yuan. In 2017, according to data released by Forbes, Gates ranked first on the list of the world's richest people for the fourth consecutive year, with a total wealth of $86.8 billion.

Bill Gates donated all his property to Melinda Gates**, not to mention that the ** club itself is in Bill Gates' own name, and according to the American charity ** law, only 5% of the money needs to be spent every year for donations, and the remaining 95% can be used for investment, so these funds are still counted as his property when counting assets.
As of early 2019, Bill Gates is ranked second on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, still at a high level.

How much money does Bill Gates have? He didn't have cash money. He has Microsoft's **. The market value of all his ** is about more than $50 billion.
If he transfers these properties to his daughter, or as an inheritance, he is subject to taxation under U.S. law. How much is this tax? Tell you, 50%. The tax amount shall be calculated at the ** price on the effective date of the transfer of property rights, and the tax shall be paid on the same day.
If he transfers the ** to his daughter. His family had to come up with about 25 billion in cash. Do you think Bill Gates has 25 billion in cash?
People can sell it. Joke! Anyone who knows a little bit about ** knows how far Microsoft's stock price will fall if Bill Gates throws **.
If he wants to recover 25 billion in cash, Microsoft's ** will immediately become a junk stock.
According to international practice, as a major shareholder, if you sell **, you must obtain the consent of the board of directors. Otherwise, the stock price cannot be controlled at all. Even if his daughter gets the **, it won't be cashed out right away.
These must be locked in accordance with the rules of the Board. A portion of the ban is lifted each year. It's impossible to sell them all at once.
Well, Bill Gates must be smarter than the average person. He transferred the ** to a ** named after him. What's in it for you?
It also depends on the laws of the United States. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has a provision that can only be done by the wealthy and can never be reached by ordinary earners, Section 501(3), which provides a tax exemption for charities**. Under the terms of this benefit, most wealthy Americans set up a variety of charities, gaining social reputation and exempting from taxes.
In fact, the operation process is very simple, assuming that A has tens of millions of assets, including real estate, ** and so on. He injected all these assets into the bcharity he set up**, and was the actual controller. The money earned by the charity through ** is tax-exempt, and A gives the majority of his salary to B** (which is also tax-exempt).
The next thing to do is to pay for all the daily expenses of A, such as the expenses of all the housekeepers and servants in the mansion, the expenses of food and travel, the daily maintenance of the mansion, and so on.
That's what Bill Gates' donation is for. He didn't donate anything! His actions earned him nothing more than the cheers of fools.
In addition, all the wealthy people in the United States who take ** as their property will certainly protect their property in this way.
Comparing it with the rich in China once again proves the advanced nature of American law.
He is a legend and has had an extraordinary life!!
Bill Gates is a symbol of money, and from 1995 to 2007, he was the top of the Forbes list of the world's richest people for 13 consecutive years, and the top of the Forbes list of the richest people in the United States for 20 consecutive years.
After reading Bill Gates's divorce statement, I couldn't help but sigh: This is Bill Gates's personality charm [strong]. >>>More
Copy your current question and ask Du Niang to interpret it hahaha.
Bill Gates's money, 90 billion is only a conservative estimate, such a big profiteer is very good at cheating taxes, it is said to be around 200 billion.
