Bill Gates made a pledge to donate nearly all of his wealth, estimated at $160 billion (as per Celebrity Net Worth), to charity through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

"That is why I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned. I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world," Gates wrote in a blog post on Thursday.

Gates called out Elon Musk, the Tesla boss and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, for his role in dismantling U.S. foreign aid.

"These cuts will kill not just children, but millions of children," Gates told BBC Newshour. "You wouldn't have expected the world's richest person to do it."

This commitment by Gates is aimed at tackling pressing global issues like global health, poverty alleviation and disease eradication. The Gates Foundation will cease operations by Dec. 31, 2045, after it utilizes 99% of Gates' fortune.
