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?
Maybe he has realised that it's the number of lives you have touched and impacted that's more important than having those billions of dollars held up in an account of which you ain't going to be needing such money for the rest of your life. The Man is 69 years old and in the next 20 years he's going to be 89. What will an 89 years old Man be doing with all the billions he has accumulated and the ones he will still accumulate till then. So if he say he's going to give them all out to charity I don't have any doubts, he's definitely going to do that. I don't see any point doubting him. If he wasn't going to do it, he wouldn't have said that publicly.
