Microsoft founder Bill Gates says that most of his $200bn (£150bn) fortune will be spent on improving health and education services in Africa over the next 20 years.
The 69-year-old said that “by unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity”.
Speaking in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa, he also urged Africa’s young innovators to think about how to build Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve healthcare on the continent.
Gates announced last month that he would give away 99% of his vast fortune by 2045, by when his foundation planned to end its operations.
So no, he’s not giving it away in traditional sense. It’s still directed spending according to what he believes is correct. Over 20 years. So same old but with AI.
It’s in a trust. That’s now how wills and stuff work. The whole point of paying attorneys and shit is for this kind of stuff. They are getting paid handsomely to make sure it happens. No reason to get disbarred for money that will be seized if you’re caught.
So. No way he’s living to 2045. After he dies I bet someone just changes everything. This won’t happen. Even in the hamstring version he has written up at the moment.
