Bill Gates announced plans Thursday to give away “virtually all” of his estimated $200 billion fortune.
The Microsoft founder, 69, said he wants to distribute his money within the next 20 years before closing the Gates Foundation that he created with his former wife, Melinda, on December 31, 2045.
“People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that ‘he died rich’ will not be one of them,” Gates wrote.
