DID YOU JNOW THAT BILL GATES’ CHILDREN WON’T INHERIT UP TO 2% OF HIS WEALTH? 👀
Businessman and Philanthropist, Bill Gates, who became the first centibillionaire in 1999 with a net worth which slightly surpassed $100 billion at the time, is now ranked the 13th world richest man in the world with a whopping $115.1 billion.
With this fortune of his, his three children are only going to inherit less than 1% of his wealth and he has pledged to divert the rest of his wealth into philanthropy through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
While this may seem like a small amount, with his current net worth, even 1% represents over a billion dollars for each child.
Bill Gates believes that providing his children with a massive inheritance would not be a favor to them and that they should have the opportunity to create their own paths and earn their own success.
Just recently, Melinda Gates, Gates’ ex-wife , who’s worth $31 billion, refused to invest in of of their daughter’s project, hinting that it will make her lazy.
What would you do if your parent’s were as rich but you will only inherit less than %1 of their fortune ?
