Bill Gates' net worth surpassed $100 billion this week. He remains the 2nd richest person in the world by Noah_Kirsch
Forbesof the world’s billionaires. Bezos will soon give a slice of that fortune away. He and his wife, MacKenzie, are in the process of finalizing their divorce. The couple announced in early April that she will receive a quarter of his Amazon stake, currently valued at more than $35 billion.
An uptick in Microsoft’s share price this week, combined with solid performance from Gates' other investments, was enough to send his net worth above $100 billion on April 16. Gates has already gifted over $35 billion to charity, largely to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—the world’s largest private philanthropy—which he chairs with his wife, Melinda. The foundation focuses on public health and is perhaps best known for its efforts alongside Rotary International to eradicate polio.
