<p><strong>Bill Gates </strong>on Thursday announced plans to close the Gates Foundation in 20 years.</p>
<p>In a lengthy <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/work/save-lives/reader/20-years-to-give-away-virtually-all-my-wealth">post on his website</a>, the Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder wrote, "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. And on December 31, 2045, the foundation will close its doors permanently."</p>

<p>Bill Gates and <strong>Melinda French Gates</strong> established the Gates foundation in 2000. Originally, Gates said that the plan was for the organization to continue its work for decades after the pair's deaths. But significant milestones, like the foundation's 25th anniversary, and the current state of the world, have changed his mind.</p>
<p>"The Gates Foundation's mission remains rooted in the idea that where you are born should not determine your opportunities. I am excited to see how our next chapter continues to move the world closer to a future where everyone everywhere has the chance to live a healthy and productive life," he said.</p>
<p>To date, the foundation has given away $102.3 billion, according to its <a href="https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/foundation-fact-sheet">website</a>. Under this new plan, spending over the next several years will skyrocket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Over the next two decades, we will double our giving. The exact amount will depend on the markets and inflation, but I expect the foundation will spend more than $200 billion between now and 2045. This figure includes the balance of the endowment and my future contributions," Gates said.</p>
<p>In particular, Gates said that he wants to see spending focused on global health and equity initiatives.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The tech luminary also said that he hopes this decision will inspire other billionaires to give more while they're living. In 2010, Gates, French Gates, and <strong>Warren Buffett</strong> launched the <a href="https://www.givingpledge.org/who-has-taken-the-pledge/">Giving Pledge</a>, a charitable campaign that encourages wealthy people to do just that. It currently has more than 240 members.</p>
<p>"People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that ‘he died rich' will not be one of them. There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people," he said in the post.</p>

<p>Melinda French Gates exited the Gates Foundation last year, following the couple's divorce in 2021.

<p>"Today's announcement almost certainly marks the beginning of the last chapter of my career, and I'm okay with that," Bill Gates said in his Thursday post.
