Bill Gates has announced he will give away 99 percent of his immense fortune in the coming years - leaving one percent for himself and his children.
The tech mogul is shuttering the Gates Foundation by December 31, 2045, effectively ending a lifelong project to give away his multi-billion fortune.
He announced Thursday that he plans to distribute 'virtually all' of his wealth, approximately $200 billion, within the next 20 years.
