Bill Gates has publicly stated that he plans to give away virtually all of his wealth, including a significant portion of his estimated $200 billion fortune, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He aims to largely distribute this wealth over the next two decades, with the foundation planning to sunset its operations by 2045.

* Strengthening primary healthcare: This includes efforts to end preventable deaths of mothers and babies, and ensuring future generations are free from deadly infectious diseases.
* Lifting millions out of poverty: This involves initiatives related to education and agricultural innovation.
* Investing in technology: He has mentioned the importance of AI in healthcare and other advancements.
While the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the primary vehicle for his philanthropy, Gates also invests considerable time and money in other ventures like Breakthrough Energy, which supports clean energy innovation, and TerraPower, a company focused on next-generation nuclear technology. Any profits from these ventures are also reinvested back into the foundation.
He has repeatedly emphasized that his children will inherit only a small fraction (around 1%) of his vast fortune, as he believes in instilling self-reliance and the value of service.
