In communicating about the sharing, Bill Gates highlighted that his children will receive a great education and, even with only 1% of his inheritance, will never be poor. “Our children will receive a great education and some money, so they will never be poor, but will have their own careers,” he said.

“Fourth Child Benefited”

Of the 99% of Bill Gates‘ inheritance, a large portion will be allocated to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a nonprofit foundation founded by the billionaire and Melinda, his ex-wife. Recently, the magnate stated that the foundation is his “fourth child.”

According to him, the intention is to spend about $9 billion a year (R$ 44 billion) on innovation areas by 2026. Among the targeted topics for these investments are the prevention of future pandemics, the reduction of child mortality, the improvement of food security, and climate adaptation.
