In a groundbreaking move, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pledged to donate 99% of his massive $200+ billion fortune by the year 2045—and plans to eventually close down the Gates Foundation.
The bombshell announcement came during the 25th anniversary of the Gates Foundation in May 2025, marking a bold new chapter in Gates’ lifelong mission to end poverty, fight deadly diseases, and reduce global inequality.
He’s stepping up in a huge way—doubling down on efforts to deliver life-saving vaccines, wipe out malaria, and boost child health programs that could save millions of lives.
The clock is ticking. The vision is daring.
The legacy? World-changing
