He and his wife Melinda have so far given away $28billion via their charitable foundation, more than $8 billion of it to improve global health.
I'm certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes, he says, redundantly. Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point. Its utility is entirely in building an organization and getting the resources out to the poorest in the world.
My wife and I had a long dialogue about how we were going to take the wealth that we're lucky enough to have and give it back in a way that's most impactful to the world, he says. We're focused on the help of the poorest in the world, which really drives you into vaccination. You can actually take a disease and get rid of it altogether, like we are doing with polio.
My full-time work for the rest of my life will be at the foundation, he says. I still work part-time for Microsoft. I've had two careers and I'm lucky that both of them have been quite amazing.
Gates explains: The vast majority of the wealth, over 95 per cent, goes to the foundation, which will spend all that money within 20 years after neither of us are around any more.
thats only on a few games.
