Bill Gates Confirms Children Will Inherit Less Than 1% of His $101 Billion Fortune

The Microsoft co-founder emphasizes fostering independence for his children while dedicating the majority of his wealth to philanthropy through the Gates Foundation.

Bill Gates revealed on the 'Figuring Out with Raj Shamani' podcast that his three children will inherit less than 1% of his $101.2 billion net worth.
Gates explained that this decision aims to encourage his children to achieve independent success rather than relying on inherited wealth.
The majority of Gates’ immense fortune will be allocated to the Gates Foundation, the world’s largest private charitable organization, which he co-founded in 2000.
Gates stated that his children have been given excellent opportunities and are proud of the foundation’s accomplishments in addressing global challenges.
This approach reflects Gates’ belief that resources should primarily serve those in need, contrasting with traditional inheritance practices.
