Bill Gates to give away fortune by 2045, $200B for world's poorest

  • Bill Gates, cofounder of Microsoft, announced plans in 2025 to give away nearly all his fortune through the Gates Foundation, which will close in 2045.
  • Gates accelerated this plan because of urgent global problems and believes the foundation can reach its goals faster by increasing key investments and providing partner certainty.
  • The foundation aims to spend about $200 billion over 20 years to end preventable childbirth deaths, eradicate infectious diseases, and reduce poverty worldwide.
  • Gates stated, "He died rich will not be one of them," committing to give away approximately 99 percent of his $108 billion fortune to improve global health and development.
  • This accelerated giving may increase philanthropic impact amid global aid cuts, and Gates hopes other billionaires follow his example to help the world’s poorest.
