Bilioneer Bill Gates On Thursday, “CBS Morning” exclusively announced that he was committing $ 200 billion from the Gates Foundation to spend more than 20 years.
Gates In an interview with “CBS Morning” last week, he first published his plan to give all his assets, he said that he would adopt “equity, standardized approach” to distribute funds. It will go to the attention of global health and education for various reasons. His ultimate goal is to save millions of lives, especially among women and children who suffer from HIV, malaria and other serious illnesses.
In addition to his discussion about his 200 billion dollars mission, he highlights some of his discussions about the “last chapter” of life – and many more.
“It’s wild as much as I can have as much money as I can”
Gates said that he would not miss this money, but he hopes he will live long enough to see some positive ways that have helped hard-heets communities.
Gates jokingly said, “I hope I am still alive after I ended up 20 years, but I would save a bit to be able to buy a hamburger – as much as I needed,” Gates made a joke.
Someone is thinking, Why now? This is easy for Gates: You can spend more money by spending more money. This is why Microsoft’s co-founder said he was “doubled”.
Gates said, “And after that, there will be some more rich people who understand what the problems are, what is still left,” Gates said.
“And, somehow, it is wild that someone like me can have a lot of money,” he added.
Gates says
As the US and other European countries Cut the budget to foreign aidThere are health experts Vocals About the impact for world health. In 2021, an estimated 1.5 million children died before reaching the age of 5, a UNICEF report published in March said that he had identified a significant reduction from the 5th. Gates hopes death can increase again, and this is what he wants to address.
Gates said, “I would say, despite the challenges we have now, which is huge and surprised, I am very optimistic about the progress I can make over the next 20 years.” “The next five, these cutbacks will disrupt, but we will get – and therefore the 5 million numbers can rise a bit above that will not happen. It is terrible. But over time we will get down to 3 million.”
Gates has called for US leaders to consider this difference that maintaining foreign assistance – about 1% of last year’s federal budget – can do this.
Gates explained, “For 1%, if you can save a thousand times less life than to save lives and if it creates stability in those countries, they are enriching countries that will participate in the global economy,” Gates explained. “And we don’t have to interfere with our military or anything else, and they have strategic relationships, where they see that we have helped them forward, and this is why you will be able to see the future epidemic quickly and to prevent the spread like Covid.”
Gates hopes that America will follow its leadership in helping some of the poorest countries in the world and says he will always advise the government to help.
Gates said, “We don’t want more than 1% to help the poor.
In December, a few of these issues come up during a three-hour dinner between Gates and President Trump in Mar-E-Laggo. Gates said that they had a “great discussion” about polio and innovation to prevent HIV and work together to get “HIV heal soon”.
“Since then a few programs have been cut off,” Gates said. “
On the first day of his second term, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to start the country Withdraw from the World Health OrganizationThe In March, the Trump administration had published plans to shrink the Health and Human Services Department – a Major overhall It influenced thousands of employees.

“I am hoping to deliver them to them to restore their assistance with both the President or the Congress with the Congress,” Gates said the Gates Foundation could not replace US assistance.
The Federal government in the United States has distributed about $ 2 billion foreign assistance in 2021 – with $ 1.5 billion for humanitarian assistance, the Pew Research Center has reported, foreign -assistant. Quotes Gov.
Gates fears that foreign assistance cuts can cause more childhood deaths due to lack of vaccines and HIV drugs that prevent mothers infection from their children.
“Instead of [deaths] We will go down and go back, “Gates said.
The “Last Chapter” of Gates’ career
Gates is identifying many significant milestones this year – the Gates Foundation is 25 years old, Microsoft 50 and Gates, itself is 70 years old.
“I’m shocked that I am 70 years old because when I was young, and I thought, hey, they are not very modern about what these old people are not changing. And so I am here,” Gates said his “Microsoft’s days were very intense.”
Nowadays, he is spending extra time to play pickball and tennis and read. He regularly traveled to Africa and India as part of his work with the Gates Foundation, and he supervised some programs to improve health and development.
Gates said, “I can travel and see the effect and
Gates said that he was not feeling “705 years old”, but he wanted that he had “more time”.
Towards the end of a letter posted online with the decision to give all his assets on Thursday, Gates said he was starting the “last chapter” of his career.
“And I hope I’m lucky enough that we spend all these resources in 20 years that I can guide both of it and see the work and see the work and make sure that this is going to pick up what is not done in the next 20 years, “he said” CBS Morning “.
Gates’ inspiration is derived from the generosity of his best friend Warren Buffett, who has donated billions of billions to the Gates Foundation in the last 19 years. Buffett, who is now 94 years old and announced this month that he was Berkshire is resigning as the chief executive officer of HathawayTwo decades ago, the Gates Foundation made a lifetime promise to five charities – which will continue until his death. At this time, it was The largest public vow In history
“I should be sure that it has been spent well. Warren Buffett’s generosity, it is always – I felt a huge responsibility to make sure his generosity is extremely effective. And now it’s at the end of all things, “Gates added.
Gates what the world expects to say about him 100 years
From now on, when asked about what the world said about him about 5 years from now, Gates said that he was not “interested” in making a permanent name for himself.
“If I care about that I will probably create the foundation a foundation that lasts forever. And the other people like to do it, “Gates said.” Okay I don’t think this is the most effective way. Most of the things I work will no longer be a problem. “
He hopes that from now on one century people will be surprised by some of the diseases that are working to eradicate like tuberculosis, ham and malaria.
Gates said, “I think we will consider all children’s lives as worth, because the world will be rich enough and the invention of the tools to do so will be so strong, you know that the number of childhood deaths should be very small and not different in different countries,” Gates said.
AI is a “very powerful tool” for future generations
Gates believes another tool that can help: artificial intelligence.
“In a certain sense, it is going to be so novel that none of us is ready for it but some aspects of it are incredibly positive,” Gates said that he first saw how the AI-driven teaching assistant Khanmigo, created by the non-profit Khan Academy, was using New Jersey teachers.
Although AI can help encourage curiosity and to be a “very powerful tool”, “Gates said that kids would continue to create their own path on the basis of their unique interest.
“The kids will choose what they are interested in. They don’t all have to be AI scientists,” he said.
Although some may express concern as an inspiration killer to AI, Gates argues the opposite. It may give you more freedom and time to spend you on passing things.
Gates says, “Well, it is called ’embarrassment of wealth’ problem, the long -time you work today will not have to work. Your doctor and huge wait list will not be lacking,” Gates also said that he hopes that AI will help countries like Africa, which is facing a doctor’s deficit.
“Society can decide: How do you spend time? And how fast it comes, you will get pretty disagreements, but in general, we have led and so – we will have more freedom. The issues are better than going back.
