Yesterday, I came across data about Bill Gates' wealth - it turns out that last year, it was estimated to be around $113-115 billion. Honestly, that number is astonishing. Interestingly, the foundation of his wealth still comes from his time at Microsoft, but now the money is distributed through Cascade Investment LLC - a diversified investment portfolio.

What’s surprising is that even with such wealth, Bill Gates and his wife donated over $59 billion through their foundation. This is a serious hit to his own capital, but his wealth remains simply astronomical. It turns out that even after such donations, he is still among the richest people on the planet.

It’s interesting how a person manages to distribute such sums. Bill Gates’ wealth is not just a number; it’s a whole ecosystem of investments and projects. Sometimes, these figures make you see the scale of capital in a different light.
