Bill Gates pledges to donate almost all his wealth to charity

Bill Gates has promised to donate almost all of his wealth (more than $200 billion) to charity: the Microsoft founder does not want to 'die rich'. The Gates Foundation, which he founded with his ex-wife in 2000, originally planned to continue its work for several decades after their passing, but now the plans have changed - within 20 years, the organization will spend all the money and then close.
