I recently came across the news that Bill Gates plans to give away his entire fortune through his charity foundation over the next 20 years. It got me thinking, why would someone spend the majority of their life accumulating wealth only to give it all away in the end? I'm curious, do they truly give it all away, or is there something more going on behind the scenes?
They give it away but they would have secretly prepared their children to be able to create their own wealth without depending on their fathers wealth. Rich kids are known to be unable to replicate their father's wealth so with this move of letting the children know they won't be recieving anything, they'll be force to buckle up and put their lifes on the right track to be able to get something for themselves.
With that mentality, the children will grown up to live up to the expectations of their father. It doesn't always work out that way though so we don't necessary have to follow up with what these rich dudes are doing because we don't have the full story and somethings might be going on behind without our notice. Maybe it's a way to avoid the government taxing the children or eyes being on them, who knows.
