    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.

    Bill Gates did not donate all his wealth, when he left Microsoft, he invested nearly half of his family property to create Bill Gates and Malinda** Club, in 2005 alone, the Gates couple donated $6 billion, data in recent years show that in 2015 his net worth was $79.2 billion and according to the latest 2014 American Charity Ranking Report released by the American "Charity Chronicle", in 2014, the 50 richest people in the United States generously donated $9.8 billion.

    Among them, Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, who topped the 2014 annual charity list, only donated $1.5 billion, and the key is that money is liquid, assets can be preserved, and even appreciated through various investment channels.

    This so-called 'donation' is completely different from what we usually understand as donation.

    The so-called 'naked donations' of the richest people are actually invested in public welfare undertakings (the key point is to invest in investment, not donations). Wealth is still personal, but it is invested in public welfare (such as making tents for earthquake relief, and then making profits; For example, the development of targeted drugs for incurable diseases, and then make profits. These are all public welfare).

    The main difference between such an institution that invests in public good causes and ordinary commercial companies is the tax incentives (e.g. inheritance tax, inheritance tax, inheritance tax).

    Specifically, Bill Gates's 'naked donation' can be inherited by children after a specified number of years, and it is exempt from inheritance tax.

    Therefore, the so-called "donation" of "naked donation" is not worthy of the definition of the word donation at all. Take the tent for earthquake relief and the targeted drug for the development of incurable diseases as an example to distinguish it: manufacturing and research and development are then called investment, and free distribution is donation.

    Back to the problem itself: Gates transferred his wealth to institutions he controlled, and his wealth did not change, so he was still the richest man.

Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, announced when celebrating his 50th birthday in London a few days ago that his tens of billions of dollars of wealth will be donated to society and will not be left to children and grandchildren as an inheritance.
