I think that you don’t understand the value of billions of dollars. He can do whatever he wants “for himself” with just $0.1BN. The rest is just a mental hoarding disease IMO.
They love buying companies, patents and so on, just because. Maybe they miss thst rush when they “earned” their first billion or something and, like a junkie, wants to feel it again.
Where on earth did you read he’s giving away money?
For example, researchers don’t want “his money” because there are so many strings attached that whatever you discover, now it’s under Bill Gates ownership.
I definitely don’t have much love for the guy but my understanding is the money he put up to fight malaria has saved a bunch of lives.
The current situation as I understand it is that he makes more money from his investments than he gives away each year. If he was committed to giving all his money away like he said, wouldn’t he… get on that? He’s not getting any younger, why isn’t he throwing cash at any good cause?
To be clear, I’m not “simping” for Bill Gates. No one becomes a billionaire ethically and I don’t feel the need to defend him as a person. But I also don’t just read a random comment on a website from some nobody without any evidence backing up their claim spouting any such nonsense they want, so I simply asked you to be more specific with your criticisms.
For what it’s worth, replying to such a request with the kind of hostility you showed doesn’t make me any more likely to take you at your word. You don’t come off as knowing what you’re talking about, so I don’t think you’re going to convince many people. Have a good day.
He basically gave $54BN to the “Gates and Melinda Charity”.
Guess who controls the charity?
Guess if the “Charity” pays taxes?
It’s crazy how fast people simp for billionaires, old evil shitty hated-by-all billionaires too, just because they spend some publicities around.
Does control mean he can use the funds for personal things? Genuine question
No, it doesn’t. And I’d guess that foundation is far more efficient with it’s funds than most, given it doesn’t need to advertise or ask for money.
People here are just desperate to find some reason to hate the guy.
And you to simp for his tax avoidance schemes lol.
There are far easier ways to avoid tax than this.
And better people to simp for
I get that you don’t like billionaires, and that’s understandable, but this is just sad.

I don’t see how that’s an answer to
Paul McGann’sthe question though.So you don’t think he should give away any money or what?.

Lol, “I don’t want to believe you because I don’t like you”.
How grown up!
Have a nice day you too!
That’s not at all what I said. I don’t even know you and have no opinion of you.
