The Billionaires Who Refuse To Leave Their Fortunes To Their Children

 Today, Gates is worth $89.6 billion and is arguably more known for his work as a philanthropist than with Microsoft. Along with his wife, Melinda, Gates co-founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest philanthropic organization in the world. The tech tycoon is also part of Giving Pledge, and has already made over $27 billion in lifetime donations. He has no plans to give his wealth to his children.
“I knew I didn’t think it was a good idea to give money to my kids. That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” Gates told The Sun in 2010.
