Mr. and Mrs. Gates "The Interview notes": Bill Gates, once 13 years of the world's richest man. In June 2006, when he was nearly 51 years old, Gates announced that he would fade out of Microsoft's management; In June 2008, he retired from Microsoft, worked full-time for charity, and willed, which would leave the vast majority of personal property and legacy foundations. Gates is also a successful entrepreneur's financial resources and ability to pour into charity, won the big investor Warren Buffett approved, June 25, 2006, Buffett said he will inject his charitable contributions into the Gates Foundation, and become the Gates Foundation, one of three directors. July 9, 2013, Buffett donated $2 billion worth of shares to the Gates Foundation. Melinda Gates, director of the Foundation, one of the sponsors. Gates said in a visit that without Melinda, there would probably be no foundation. After giving birth to her first child in 1996, Melinda quit her job as a full-time wife, currently a mother of three children, and is actively committed to the charitable work of the foundation. Melinda plays a huge role in the investment of the foundation's assets. Whenever Gates chooses a new donation direction and donation location, they ask two questions: What affects the most people? What problems have we overlooked in the past? "We'll look at all the unfairness and try to make the most of the changes," Melinda said. To date, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the largest private charitable foundations in the world. 2014 Hurun Global Rich List released, people were shocked to find that gates to 410 billion yuan wealth to regain the world's richest position. The couple donated the vast majority, over 95% of their wealth to the Gates Foundation, and hoped that the Gates Foundation would spend all of their money within 20 years of their two death. If we want the foundation to last forever, it also means that we believe that global health inequities will be permanent. This is what we don't want to see. In answer to my questions, they answer, so that the world will soon no longer need the Gates Foundation--This is the goal of our couple. Their goal is not to sustain the foundation, nor to lead in a particular field, but often to change or even destroy the field itself.

Whatever the criteria, the world is getting better. People live longer and healthier lives. Many countries had previously received assistance and were now able to become self-sufficient. However, few people believe the world is getting better, and many feel the world is getting worse. This idea is not only a mistake, but also harmful. In their letter, they are doomed to poverty in the poor world, foreign aid is a huge waste, saving lives will lead to overpopulation, three of all the rumors that hinder global progress are shattered, and predicted that by 2035 there will be no poor countries.
