“$200B Goodbye”: Bill Gates Is Giving Away $200 Billion and Shutting Down His Foundation by 2045
Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world, just made a huge decision. He plans to give away almost all of his $200 billion fortune in the next 20 years. His goal? To help as many people as possible, as fast as possible.
Gates announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will close forever by the end of 2045. Why? He says the world has too many problems that can’t wait—things like deadly diseases, poverty, and poor health for mothers and children. Instead of saving money for later, he wants to use it now, when it can make the biggest difference.
His foundation will double its work, focusing on fighting polio, malaria, and other dangerous diseases. He also wants to use new technology like AI to help solve global problems faster.
This is one of the largest acts of giving in history—and it could change the world forever.
