By the beginning of 20 19, Bill Gates ranked second in Forbes' list of the world's richest people and remained high.
Extended data:
Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, stepped down as the president of Microsoft and donated all his $58 billion to the Melinda Gates Foundation. He gave nothing to his children and was praised as a naked donation by the media.
Full donation: donate all personal assets within a specific range.
American law on charitable funds stipulates that only 5% of the money needs to be spent every year, and the remaining 95% can be used for investment, so that the charitable principal can be continuously enlarged, so as to realize the rolling value and continue to do charity. This is why funds such as Rockefeller can last for a hundred years.
According to China's regulations on Public Offering of Fund, the fund's expenditure on public welfare undertakings shall not be less than 70% of the current income (donations and capital operation income). If a person donates all his assets, it will cost 70% in that year, and the money will be gone in about three years.
When Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, announced his retirement, he donated all his personal assets of $58 billion to the foundation under his and his wife's name, creating the most "naked donation". In 2003, the Gates Foundation achieved a return on investment of $3.9 billion with a capital of $26.8 billion, with a profit rate as high as 15%. As long as it donates 5% of its total assets every year, the whole foundation can benefit from tax relief, which is a "way to make money" in capitalism.
In short, the United States has some sound and clear laws and regulations, which constitute the rules of the game of the sustainable development fund, while China does not have such rules.
