《Bill Gates Drops a Bombshell: Donating 200 Billion, Closing in 2045! Netizens: This is the Ultimate 'Bare Donation'》总统社区2群
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has made a huge announcement! This 69-year-old global billionaire declared on Thursday: he will donate 99% of his wealth (approximately 200 billion USD) over the next 20 years and completely close the Gates Foundation in 2045. The news exploded online: some were amazed by the 'true bare donation king', while others remarked that this is a more shocking Earth plan than Musk's Mars dream.
Powerful Quote: Never Die as a Rich Person!
Gates firmly stated in his announcement: "When I die, people will talk about many things about me, but I am determined not to let them say 'he died very wealthy.'" This tycoon, who was once the world's richest man for a long time, is now set to nearly pour his 108 billion USD fortune (about 462.1 billion MYR) into philanthropy—from eradicating polio and malaria to reducing infant mortality rates, and even criticizing countries like the US, UK, and France for cutting foreign aid: "The wealthiest countries should not abandon the poorest people."
25 Years of Philanthropy: Over 100 Billion Spent, Now Accelerating the 'Sprint'
Since founding the foundation with his ex-wife Melinda in 2000, Gates has donated over 100 billion USD, with even 'investment guru' Buffett joining the team. Now he has suddenly accelerated, stating, "Too many urgent issues cannot wait": malaria in Africa claims nearly 500,000 lives each year, and 190 million children worldwide are still malnourished... He even pointed out: "Without US funding, polio could never be eradicated."
Controversy and Applause: Some Praise the Vision, Others Worry About 'What Happens After the Foundation Closes'
Netizens are hotly discussing: "A cooler farewell than 'retiring to space'" "How many bitcoins can 200 billion buy? But Gates chose to save lives." However, there are also doubts: The foundation has built a vast network over 25 years, and suddenly closing in 2045 raises questions about how to connect ongoing projects. After all, relying solely on African countries to 'tighten budgets' may still make eradicating malaria a luxury.
