Bill Gates, who
has been in the top 10 for more than 30 years, has left that category as he is
ranked 12th, with a net worth of $107 billion.
Since founding
Microsoft, Bill Gates has continued to earn more and more over the years, where
he entered the list of the top 10 richest people in the world in 1991, and
ruled it for 18 years in total, the last time he left that position was in
2017.
Divorce with his
ex-wife, Melinda Gates, is seen as a setback to his wealth, as it is related to
the fact that this woman's wealth has increased significantly, where it is
estimated at $29 billion, from $10 billion last year.
Philanthropy
through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is also behind him, especially
since this man has given more than $50 billion to this organization, and he
says that he will continue to care for it at least until he leaves the list of
those who are considered to have 1 billion $.
On the other
hand, this man recently announced that the organization will continue its
activities for at least the next 25 years.
