His donation has now reached more than 40 billion dollars, which shows how great he is in the foundation. After stepping down as president of Microsoft, Bill Gates began to turn his attention to charity. Different from what we know about general charity, the foundation he and his wife set up has many charitable directions, especially in health, poverty and education.

According to market statistics, Bill Gates' current wealth is about 90 billion dollars, but since the establishment of the Bill Gates Foundation in 2000, his donation has reached more than 36 billion dollars. A lot of investment in charity, coupled with his constant selling of Microsoft shares, actually his wealth is not as strong as before, so that he can't occupy the throne of the richest man in the world for a long time. He lost the throne of the richest man because of too many donations, but it is enough to prove that he is a real philanthropist.

He once said that when wealth exceeds a certain level, money has no influence on him. At this time, it is a subconscious behavior to send resources to the poorest place in the world. By the end of 20 16, he has provided more than 40 billion dollars for the foundation, but so far, he has donated countless funds, and almost half of his wealth has been donated to charity.

They promised to donate more than half of their wealth to charity in their lifetime or later. For nearly 20 years, they have been committed to realizing this promise. They set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to improve human health care conditions and reduce global poverty.

At the same time, Bill Gates also said that since he donated so much money, his children may not become billionaires in the future, but they will deeply participate in the foundation and continue to do charity. He said it is difficult to do charity, because the function of charity is to solve some problems that the market economy can't solve.
