Like many other high-profile billionaires and millionaires who aren’t leaving their fortunes to their children, Gates also plans to pass on the vast majority of his wealth to a charitable trust. Gates and his wife Melinda have three children and own the world’s largest private charitable foundation – The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – which works to help people, including the severely underprivileged – lead healthy, productive lives.
