Bill Gates is revealing his plans for the $200 billion he intends to give away through his foundation over the next 20 years, vowing that much of the money will go to Africa.

Gates, who earlier this month told “CBS Mornings” about his plans to donate the bulk of his fortune, disclosed his intentions to focus on Africa on Monday while speaking at Nelson Mandela Hall at the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Gates had previously said his goal was to fund causes that would help save and improve lives around the globe.

    At this point Gates ignoring America makes it look like he’s fine with the way things are going

      There are people with even more money and political power against him in America

      Why would he start shit there when he can do massive changes in Africa?

        He claimed he could do more good in Africa. But that was never true

        As evident by the current American government causing massive amounts of damage across the globe.

        I don’t think you’re understanding the Bill Gates timescale either. Like, you think we’re talking about the last decade or something

          What timescale? Dude has spent more money on helping the world than anyone else

          Or do you have any examples of other people who have done more?
