Bill Gates’ $200 Billion Vision: A Bold Step Toward Ending Global Poverty

In a move that reshapes the landscape of modern philanthropy, Bill Gates has pledged to donate his entire $200 billion fortune to uplift the world’s poorest communities by 2045. This isn’t just about wealth redistribution—it’s a strategic, hands-on mission to dismantle systemic poverty and spark a global ripple effect of equity.
