    Remember when Bill Gates said he‘d give away 90% of his net worth during his life time? He‘s still sitting on over $130 Billion and never gave away anything substantial.

    Also. Bill Gates says no to sharing vaccine formulas with global poor to end pandemic: https://www.salon.com/2021/04/26…

    • maybe that's why his wife is divorcing. all talk no action.shapesalad
    • He’s given around $45 billion since 1994. Before you attack the Gateses, there’s a long list of terrible people you should bring up first.nb
    • That‘s true, nb if indeed the case.NBQ00
    • Bill continues to make money along with the rest of us in the market. Don’t just count net worth. He’s only 65, he’s likely planning to live 25 more years!nb
    • The very fact that he’s divorcing now tells us that they both feel they have a lot of life ahead of them.nb
    • "First rule of investing: pick one early partner and give them your all" or some shit like that...while both Gates and Bezos split in the course of 2 years lolgrafician
    • "Second rule of investing: marry into wealth" lolgrafician
    • Pretty sure one could argue he’s given away more money than most people ever. Weird how that works. Also, he’s still very alive so we have a real thinker here.monospaced
