Hopefully he's finally focusing on getting a decent haircut.
Who knows. He's 64, has a 100 billion dollars, and his full time job is giving away his money. I'm sure he wont even make a dent at the end of the day.

hes going to his bunker! but def interesting maybe just planned for a while.
Might be related to Gates Foundation charity efforts - he may wish to release himself from conflicts- I'm purely speculating here. No insight tbh.
Also on timing- April first is new fiscal year and thousands of "coincidences " have to happen to create clear fiscal year separation and the two weeks beforehand are often the cleanup buffer for transactions, acquisitions or divestitures etc. same for management changes. So this timing happens this time every year on all sorts of things.

I'm sure they could find a few billion in the couch cushions if need be.
He probably just feels like Microsoft is doing fine and wants to focus 100% on the foundation. And for good reason - Microsoft is in the top few businesses worldwide in market cap and Windows, Office, Azure, and AzureDevOps are going nowhere. They are going to continue to grow rapidly along with cloud and standardized development practices as the software industry grows and cloud services do.
That was a great watch. Hoping someone with that much money and power can really put it to good use to get everyone on track and on the same page
They are putting millions into fighting causes like Malaria, with great success. Just an example, he's been doing a great job of responsibly using his money this last few years.
So he can finally focus on his dream of making oversized love toys

Probably a joke, and even though we're all probably sick of "celebrity politicians"....but, uh, yeah I'd definitely take Bill.

I wish Bill Gates put a tiny fraction of that money in Xbox 1P, give us Scalebound, Lost Odyssey 2, Sunset Overdrive 2, buy Sega and give us all the Nipponese exclusives!

I mean, all that money could go into solving world hunger (millions of Indians starve everyday), universal healthcare and other public goods, but who wants that when we can have exclusives instead. Honestly, I try not to be bitter about it, but the first world privilege and ignorance on this forum is stifling.
I wish Bill Gates used all his money to help the poor without requiring those he is giving money to to switch to charter schools.
It's good he's planning to put his money into philanthropic projects. Investing into gaming would be a waste of his resources.
Gamestop?!
No but seriously. Spend your money Bill. There are a lot of wholes in the world to do just that.
