Bill Gates-inheritance


The world’s top billionaire Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have three children – Jennifer, 20, Rory, 17, and Phoebe, 14.
He was on ITV‘s This Morning in the UK where he confirmed once again that majority of their wealth will go to charity, and only ‘a little bit’ to their kids after their demise.
“Our kids will receive a great education and some money so they will never be poorly off but they’ll go out and have their own career.
It’s not a favour to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. Because it distorts anything they might do, in creating their own path and this money is dedicated to helping the poorest.
They know that, they’re proud of that.”
He said him and his wife will leave ‘a little bit’ for them and buttressed that his kids follow him and his wife on charitable missions and see the impact the money has on lives.
