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.
