My Children Won't Get A Penny From My £70bn Fortune - Bill Gates by Nobody: 8:43am On Oct 27, 2016 |
The world’s richest man Bill Gates has admitted he will not be leaving his £70billion fortune to his three children. Appearing on ITV’s This Morning the Microsoft creator, who has an estimated net worth of $81.7 billion, says his kids understand his decision. Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Ben Shephard, the 60-year-old said: “Well, our kids receive a great education and some money but they will go out and have their own careers. They are never going to be poorly off. It's not a favour to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts anything they might do, creating their own path. This money is dedicated to helping the poorest. They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us to see the work that's being done.” Source: http://www.jtownconnect.com/2016/10/my-children-wont-get-penny-from-my-70bn.html

PapiDShipCapt:He isn't a wicked papa bro, he's sending an indirect message to his children so start walking down the way of success of their own than dwelling on his wealth. He's not like politicians(thieves) we have here in Nigeria who could embezzle & syphone public funds so that their 5th generation won't suffer, Take Abacha As A Case Study.. 1 Like |

I like the decision he has made.Unlike our lazy black Africans that keep waiting for their parents to die so they can inherit wealth... |

If he supports them properly so that they do well in life, then it is not a very bad idea, but if not, "a good father leaves inheritance for his children " |
