Bill Gates has revealed that his children are entirely supportive of his plans to leave his $70bn fortune to charity when he dies.
The Microsoft founder said that contrary to speculation that his three children might be put out at his decision, they are in fact very “proud” of their father’s commitment to
eradicating poverty through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Appearing on ITV’s This Morning with Holly Willoughby and guest presenter Ben Shepherd, in a rare TV interview he opened up about his family’s reaction to his pledge to leave his fortune to the world’s poorest communities.
He explained that his children have seen the work that is done by the foundation first-hand and are fully supportive of their father’s noble philanthropic ambitions. “This money is dedicated to helping the poorest,” he explained. “They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us to see the work that’s being done.”
