That dream of a personal computer really came true,
Was fun to do that, I worked night and day doing it,
I met Melinda, another employee there, and married her,
I now have three wonderful kids,
But also the success of Microsoft,
I owned part of Microsoft, that became very valuable,
I know, huge, huge numbers,
and if I had not given that money to my foundation,
I would today have more money
than anyone else on the planet,
I still have a lot because I haven't put it all
into the foundation, but that is the plan,
Bill Gates, the extraordinarily successful
American business leader and philanthropist,
One of the best known entrepreneurs
who started a business out of a tiny space,
and it grew into one
of the most powerful companies in the world, Microsoft,
One of the wealthiest men on the planet
with an estimated net worth of over $100 billion,
but also one of the greatest minds,
After spending 13 years as the world's richest man,
he now spends his time and energy
on tackling global poverty,
and dedicates his efforts in philanthropic endeavors
such as climate change,
global health and development, and education,
After revolutionizing the tech industry,
Bill Gates has become a tech billionaire legend,
Talented, driven, a bold achiever with a long-term vision,
determined to make a significant positive impact
in the world, by helping the poorest countries,
Bill Gates is an example,
This man cares about those in need
and is fighting for great causes,
Follow the journey of one of the world's greatest leaders,
from his early days as a quiet computer programmer
to the multi-billionaire philanthropist he's become today,
and whose social and political impact on society is deep,
They are masterminds,
Ambitious, competitive and ruthless, not afraid of failure,
dedicated to their mission of bettering the world,
always reaching for excellence,
they lead by example,
Unlike many industries,
the tech billionaires are mostly self-made,
It is through their genius
that they revolutionize the industry
and together they change the world,
Join us in this series, as we take a look
at some of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the modern world,
the tech billionaires,
Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos,
Together they're worth a collective
of more than $900 billion,
They will be remembered in history
as the most influential people of the 21st century,
Bill Gates was born William Henry Gates Jr,
on October 28th, 1955, in Seattle, Washington,
He grew up in an upper middle-class
loving and supportive family,
with his older sister Kristianne
and his younger sister Libby,
Their father, William Henry Gates Sr,,
was a Seattle attorney, philanthropist
and co-creator of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
His mother, Mary Gates, was a school teacher
and devoted her time to helping raise the children
and working on civic affairs and with charities,
Gates was a relatively privileged child,
His parents encouraged all three children
to be competitive and strive for excellence,
He excelled in school, showed early signs of competitiveness
and intellectual achievement,
and quickly gained a fascination for computer language,
At 13, he wrote his first software program
while at Lakeside High School, and met Paul Allen,
an encounter that would change his life,
Leaving his family at 17,
he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts
and enrolled at Harvard University in 1973,
originally thinking of a career in law,
But he would change his plans later on,
There he met Steve Ballmer,
who encouraged him to have more social life,
Introvert and often ridiculed as a nerd,
Gates was very much into reading
and declared himself that he was antisocial,
He only dated on rare occasions
and made sure whoever he was dating had scored, like him,
a high SAT grade,
His mother was deeply disappointed,
when two years later he dropped out of Harvard
to pursue his own mission,
and start his own computer software business
with his high school friend Paul Allen,
in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
But little did they know
it would end up changing the course of history
and the computer industry,
The now multi-billion-dollar giant tech company
would propel Gates to success,
making him a millionaire by age 26,
the youngest billionaire at 31,
and one of the richest men in the world,
With the ambitious goal of placing together
a computer on every desk and in every home,
together they founded Microsoft,
Well, we're continually trying to make
the computers easier to use,
I mean, the idea is that eventually
everyone will use a computer as a very important tool,
It was interesting for me, you know,
I met a lot of other kids who were good at math,
I hung out and that was fun,
But I was still kind of dreaming
of the idea of a personal computer,
So in 1975, I dropped out of school,
I don't recommend it, but I left Harvard,
I went on leave from Harvard and started Microsoft,
Gates later moved the company
to Bellevue, Washington in 1979, closer to where he grew up,
Although it started on shaky grounds,
by this time it was grossing approximately $2,5 million,
At the age of only 23, Gates placed himself
as head of the company,
He led with a keen business sense and personally reviewed
every line of code the company shipped,
often rewriting code himself when it was necessary,
In November 1980, the world's dominant computer maker, IBM,
was looking for software
that would operate their personal computer,
and approached Microsoft,
Legend has it that at the first meeting with Gates,
someone at IBM mistook him for an office assistant
and asked him to serve coffee,
Gates expertly manipulated the larger company,
so they became permanently dependent on him
for basic software,
Following the development of software for IBM,
between 1979 and 1981, Microsoft's growth exploded,
Staff increased and revenue shot up from $2,5 million
to $16 million,
As the company grew, Gates transitioned
from a manager role to an executive,
In mid '81 he was appointed president
and chairman of the board,
Allen was named executive vice president,
By 1983 Microsoft was going global,
with offices in Great Britain and Japan,
An estimated 30% of the world's computers
ran on its software,
The competition was high,
as the computer industry was growing
with companies like Apple and Intel,
but he saw it as a good thing
and used it as fuel to keep improving,
Well, we've had competitors at every stage of our history,
You know, one of the big things for us
was IBM saying they'd put us out of business with OS/2,
OS/2 isn't as well known today as it was
when that was said,
Ashton-Tate was big in database,
Novell in networking software,
And so when new competitors come along,
it's great for consumers,
He even values competitors like Google,
Great to have Google out there,
It's really pushing us on the internet search,
We enjoy that,
So fear's not the right word,
but the value of competition and the enjoyment
and the visibility that brings, that's great,
Using various business and marketing tactics,
Gates was working hard to make sure
the Microsoft software stayed on top,
The work we're doing is,
it's not like we're doing the same thing all day long,
We go into our offices and think up new programs,
We get together in meetings,
We go out and see end users,
We talk to customers,
There's so much variety,
and there's always new things going on,
And I don't think there'll ever come a time
when that would be boring,
Despite the success of Microsoft,
Gates never felt totally secure,
And he had to demonstrate
a strong dedication to his business,
Always checking on the competition over his shoulder,
he developed a drive and competitive spirit
and a confrontational attitude,
He became a solid business leader,
When we were small,
we couldn't do these advanced research things,
And so we're stronger today than ever,
because we have the research lab in Cambridge,
We've got a research lab now in China, one in India,
and that's where the top problems
in computer science are gonna be solved,
That's why Microsoft got such a great future,
because we're looking into how to do
that speech recognition or visual recognition,
things that people have talked about for a long time,
we're actually doing it,
And that's because we're a company
that takes long-term approach,
We've got these great researchers
and in this next decade, all of those tough problems
will be solved with software,
His intelligence allowed him
to see all sides of the software industry
from product development to corporate strategy,
I enjoy working with the people,
talking about what we're gonna get done,
getting real excited, making sure
that the structure is there,
that the ideas get measured properly
and really leading the company, that's exciting,
Right around the same time as Microsoft,
another company was built, the revolutionary Apple,
Its CEO, Steve Jobs,
It was a natural catalyst for the rivalry,
and it actually spurred their success,
Though their love-hate relationship is legend,
Microsoft and Apple shared many of their early innovations,
And they weren't always enemies,
In 1981 Apple invited Microsoft
to help develop software for Macintosh computers,
Well, we've always had lots of competitors, you know,
There are a lot of great companies in this industry,
It is becoming more software-centered,
That is if you take, why is the Xbox 360 doing so well?
Or why are other people's things doing well?
It's that software capability,
And that's a bet that we made
at the beginning of the company,
that software would be fundamental,
We're the company that does
the most advanced research in software,
So we think that's gonna pay off very well for us,
but we love the competition,
Some areas like the tablet or interactive TV,
we're kind of out on our own,
Other areas like search,
people see that someone else has done a good job,
and we can surprise them by showing
that we can match and go beyond,
It was through this knowledge-sharing
that Microsoft developed a new system,
On November 20th, 1985, Microsoft launched Windows,
which looked visually very similar to the Macintosh system
introduced two years earlier by Apple,
Windows used a mouse to drive a graphic interface,
displaying text and images on the screen,
This differed greatly from the operating system
developed by Microsoft,
where all text formatting showed on the screen as code,
and not what actually would be printed,
In March 1986, Gates took Microsoft public
with an initial offering of $21 per share,
making him an instant millionaire at age 31,
Over time, the company stock increased in value,
Just a year later in '87, Gates became a billionaire,
when the stock hit $90,75 a share,
Since then he's been at the top,
or at least near the top, of Forbes annual list
of the top 400 wealthiest people in America,
By the start of the '90s,
he'd become the PC industries ultimate kingmaker,
In 1999 with stock prices at an all-time high,
Gates wealth briefly top $101 billion,
I feel very proud of the record of our industry
in serving customers,
It's really breathtaking the power that you get
for very little money,
Any industry where somebody can start a company from scratch
and in less than four years
sell that company for $10 billion,
that's an industry of opportunity,
There are more new startups,
more new jobs being created in our industry,
more new competitors to Microsoft
being formed now than ever before,
It should not be surprising
that one of the wealthiest people in the world
has an insanely extravagant high-tech home,
In 1997, Gates and his family
would move into a 66,000 square foot,
$54 million massive mansion
that he spent seven years building
on the shore of Lake Washington,
The property is loaded with high-tech details,
It features screens showing changeable artwork,
has speakers hidden behind wallpaper,
allowing music to follow you from room to room,
It even has a sand beach and a swimming pool
with its own underwater sound system,
The estate he dubbed Xanadu 2,0 is so big and famous,
it has its own Wikipedia page,
But all of this didn't come without ambition,
efforts and perseverance,
Bill Gates always kept a strong will and kept being smart,
Gates also had overcome his fears to launch Microsoft
and make it a success,
He had to overcome challenges
by eventually learning how to delegate,
Before Microsoft became a success,
he struggled with self-confidence
and actually feared that his business would be a bust,
In fact, his first attempt to build his first ever business,
Traf-O-Data at 17 years old with Paul Allen, was a fail,
but it would be the early steps
of what would ultimately become Microsoft,
"Even though Traf-O-Data wasn't a roaring success,
"it was seminal in preparing us
"to make Microsoft's first product a couple of years later",
explained Allen some years later,
His confidence was also broken many times
as he watched companies he idolized fail,
Gates' anxiety has persisted,
but his early days taught him a vital lesson,
Things are risky and you better not miss a turn in the road,
He realized that feeling challenged early in his career
helped him be successful,
Later on, Microsoft had to settle several lawsuits,
after being accused of becoming a monopoly
and using anti-competitive practices,
They had to pay a devastating price,
In 1987, Gates, then 32,
sat next to the young and bright Melinda French
at a business dinner party in New York City,
She was a 23-year-old Microsoft product manager,
The pair was a perfect match,
On January 1st, 1994, Melinda and Gates
were married in Hawaii,
They had three children,
Following the devastating death
of his mother to breast cancer
just a few months after their wedding,
they took some time off in 1995 to travel
and get a new perspective on life and the world,
Following the footsteps of his mother
and with Melinda's influence,
Gates started to gain an interest
in becoming a civic leader and a philanthropist,
In 1994, the couple established
the William Henry Gates Foundation,
In 2000, the couple combined several family foundations
and made a $28 billion contribution
to form the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
based in Seattle,
It is reported to be the largest private foundation
in the world, holding around $50 billion in assets,
It is dedicated to supporting education, world health
and reducing extreme poverty across the globe,
The foundation is controlled by its three trustees
Bill and Melinda and American investor Warren Buffett,
one of the most successful investors in the world today,
I think our view of the foundation really
is we got started in 1993 when we started to see the need,
the need was so great,
And it starts, the foundation starts with the premise
that no life on this planet is more important
in one place than on the other,
And so when you take that basic premise
and you say there's so much going on,
so much need in health today, we had to start now,
Would've been convenient to wait till we were 60
to start to redistribute the wealth,
but disease doesn't wait,
And so we decided that now really
is the time for us to start,
And I think you could also say
that it has a lot of dreams for the foundation,
When we look at health, a dream of an HIV vaccine
is a huge dream for us as a couple,
something we'd like to see,
or microbicide, which is a gel
that a woman might be able to use someday
to prevent HIV/AIDS, I think we have a lot of dreams
in terms of what scientific tools can do for people
in the developing world,
In 2000 Gates stepped down from Microsoft CEO,
turning over the job to his childhood friend, Steve Ballmer,
Though he remained chairman of the board,
he preferred to concentrate on what was for him
the more passionate side of the business,
In 2006 Gates further announced
he was transitioning himself
from full-time work at Microsoft
to devote more quality time and energy to the foundation,
In the meantime, he reached milestones
with the launch of Microsoft Windows Vista in 2007,
whose new software allowed people to interact in new ways,
This is a special occasion,
We've worked hard to build a new software platform,
and we're so excited to see
what people are going to do with it,
In 1983, Microsoft introduced
the very first version of Windows, that was 24 years ago,
And at the time PCs were not very powerful,
There was a lot of question of whether graphics interface
was something that made sense at all,
People were skeptical about whether parameters would learn
to be able to build applications that were very different,
since the user could interact in a variety of new ways,
And it took a long time for that to be well accepted,
That same year Bill and Melinda were ranked
the second most generous philanthropists in America
after Warren Buffett,
They're working hard together
to give their wealth back to society,
planning to eventually donate 95% to charity,
It's my responsibility I feel
to take these resources of society
that I've gotten and give them back
in the most impactful way,
And that's what's led to the creation of the foundation
that my wife and I run,
Kind of amazingly, my friend Warren Buffett
added a substantial part of his resources to that as well,
And so just like at Microsoft,
the foundation has taken on very ambitious goals,
We want a vaccine for tuberculosis and malaria,
We wanna reduce all the childhood deaths
that happen in these poor countries
that really isn't visible to the rich world,
and the rich world hasn't put enough energy into that,
And so it'll take decades to do that,
Very similar to my work with Microsoft,
working with smart people, being optimistic,
giving them lots of resources,
And so I'm thrilled I get that chance,
And that's the responsibility I have
as somebody who's gotten the wealth
that Microsoft generated,
But Gates makes it clear,
Fame is not his goal,
Well, I don't need to be remembered at all,
My wife and I have decided
that our foundation will spend all its money
within 20 years, when neither of us are around,
So we're not trying to create some perpetual thing,
Well, none of the people who are at risk of polio
know anything about me, nor should they,
They are dealing with day-to-day life
and the fact that their child might get crippled,
We just need to get rid of that,
and then we won't have to talk about it,
On June 27th, 2008,
he gave a teary farewell to Microsoft
on his last full day at the company,
"There won't be a day in my life that I'm not thinking
"about Microsoft and the great things that it's doing
"and wanting to help", said Gates,
Wiping away tears, as the employees rose
to give him a standing ovation,
Leaving behind a life's work developing software
to devote his energy to fight poverty in the world,
Gates went on to create greater things,
He still works on special technology projects at Microsoft,
In February 2014, Gates stepped down
as chairman of Microsoft
in order to move into a new position as technology advisor,
Longtime CEO Steve Ballmer
was replaced by Satya Nadella,
Over the next few years,
Gates' involvement with the foundation
occupied much more of his time interest,
When we were engaged, Bill and I talked about the fact
that this wealth would go back to society,
And again, because we both came from families
who were deeply involved in volunteerism and giving back,
it was just a natural,
So I would say the converse has been true for us,
One of the most fun things has been
Bill now getting to spend full time on the foundation,
We were already, obviously the last 10 years,
working collaboratively on the foundation,
but now that we can do it full time,
we're all the more excited and passionate
about working together,
With his foundation,
Gates is committed to saving lives,
reducing sickness, to lifting society up
and making it self-sufficient and stable,
In low-income countries like Sub-Saharan Africa
and Southeast Asian countries,
Gates knew that people were still dying at an alarming rate,
mostly from illnesses that could easily be treated
with basic medicine,
It was common sense for him that basic needs
in poorest nations like Ethiopia and Rwanda
have to be taken care of first
for them to reach a stable state,
It all started in 2000, when among others,
the foundation decided to build institutions
that would support a wide range of public health projects
by leading campaigns and granting aid
to fight transmittable and deadly diseases
such as AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria
known as the three biggest killers in poor countries,
Vaccines, the miracle technology,
The one project that makes them the most proud
has been creating widespread immunization programs,
In his fight against disease,
he states that big breakthroughs have been made,
and they've shown that hundreds of millions
of children's lives can be saved
by innovations like new vaccines,
It saves children's lives,
When you say there are eight million children
who die every single year,
many from vaccine preventable diseases,
and we know we can tackle those diseases,
it makes me excited about getting those tools out to mothers
so that they know they can raise healthy children,
The need to get them out
into the developing world is greater, more than ever before,
but it is not an easy journey,
and the results don't come automatically,
It seems that it isn't enough
just to develop powerful medicines,
They have to reach the people who need them,
And it often means getting medicine
to remote villages in war zones,
Over the past decades, Gates and his wife Melinda
have invested $10 billion into organizations
that do this challenging work,
including three big ones, Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance,
The Global Fund and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative,
He claimed that it was the best investments
they had ever made,
In 2016 Gates and former UK Chancellor George Osborne
pledged three billion pounds to help fight against malaria,
The cost of a path to a polio free world
has exceeded $10 billion,
But since Gavi was founded,
the number of children under the age of five dying
in low and middle-income countries has dropped by about 40%,
and they immunized 100 million children in 2018,
Well, I'm very lucky,
I get to go out and see that now
the all the world's children are getting these vaccines,
that that's making such a difference,
Before the UK and our foundation founded Gavi,
kids didn't get these vaccines for diarrhea and pneumonia
and the deaths were twice as high,
And so I wish all the British taxpayers
could go out into these countries and see what's gone on
with the different diseases and see that impact,
see that polio's literally on the verge of eradication,
so that instead of 400,000 children a year being paralyzed,
now we'll get that number down to zero,
and we'll save all that preventative treatment,
That's really quite phenomenal,
And I don't think people understand
it's their aid generosity
combined with good delivery systems
that has led to this phenomenal resource,
Meanwhile, polio cases have almost disappeared,
More recently, in April 2018, Gates announced
that he was teaming with Google co-founder Larry Page
to provide $12 million in funding
for a universal flu vaccine,
Although some questioned whether $12 million
would be enough to spark any real medical breakthroughs,
others praise the intentions behind the investment,
while Gates indicated that there could be more to come,
Gates also supported the development of drugs and vaccines
for livestock diseases,
so that the growing population can be fed properly,
And the benefit of that
is that these societies become stable,
They can take care of themselves,
So it's an investment in the future,
whether you care about terrorism or epidemics
or perhaps most importantly, the humanitarian benefit,
A lot of countries are continuing to increase the rate,
And that's a fantastic thing,
There's a few like Italy that need to be called out,
because they're cutting the rate,
and that hurts the poorest,
because these dollars are very, very impactful,
We've gotta have the health systems everywhere
so that we can see pandemic diseases getting started
and stop them early,
With Ebola we were lucky,
It didn't spread as fast as diseases
that we'll face in the future,
And so having those health systems there
is protecting health of even the rich countries,
The kind of stability that we need,
so we don't have civil war,
and we feel like we have huge migration crises,
We have to send the army in,
If you can do that by improving cultural productivity,
that's a fantastic thing,
Even though there's a big drought in Ethiopia right now,
because of the increased agricultural productivity,
it's largely been able to feed its own population,
because the productivity in the West
is now helping out there in the East,
And so this constant improvement
in food production, education, health,
that means that the risks coming in
from all these other places will be greatly reduced,
He committed $40 million to GALVmed
to continue its work on preventing livestock diseases
and improving quality of food and nutrition,
Gates believes that health systems need to be everywhere
to prevent diseases and reduce risk,
Helping poorest countries benefits the rich countries too,
For him, philanthropists have a duty to tackle hunger
and better healthcare in these countries,
as they're totally dependent
on such donations and generosity,
He raises awareness about the importance
of raising money to fix such issues,
Well, I think over time,
we're gonna see more of those people
giving their money away,
In fact, we've been talking
to a whole host of people in the United States
just about how much we've enjoyed the giving,
how much we're seeing progress around the world,
how much it's been a journey for us as a couple,
And so I think you're seeing
more and more people come forward,
We have 40 other couples signed up in the United States
who have pledged to give away over 50% of their wealth,
That's huge,
We're talking to couples in India and in China,
I think that will come along over time,
But you have to have show progress,
And I think that's one of the incredible things,
It's not just private philanthropy,
it's the pounds that come from the British government
for us to be able to say, "Look, these childhood deaths
"are dropping because of these amazing investments
"that have been made,"
And when people see that progress, they say,
"Oh, I could actually do something,
"I wanna be a part of that,"
Melinda and I are very lucky,
We were born in a wealthy country,
We got great education,
We got great health things,
And billions of people do not have that,
And there's no particular reason
why we should and others shouldn't,
but poverty and the fact that you're trapped,
when your health is so bad,
and it ironically means your population growth is very high,
That is unfair,
And so we didn't wanna burden our children with it,
They'll maybe ask us several times why,
but we want them to make their own way,
And so we've picked the things,
and we think it's incredible,
We found things where the impact per dollar
is way beyond what we expected,
When you're out in a village and you meet a mother,
and she says, "My gosh, because of something
"that you all have invested in, my child is alive,
"My child is alive, and I can plan on this child
"living till their fifth birthday,
"And I can now work on my farm and put my child in school,"
That's an incredibly amazing feeling,
when you're out in the world,
However, while calling
for continued improvement in international aid development,
he states that we need to acknowledge
the progress made so far,
It's good news that you can actually get rid of a disease,
that you can cut childhood death in half,
that we can take that malnutrition, which holds Africa back
and solve it by helping them grow more food,
Produce aid is achieving incredible results,
Everyone in the field, working together,
and we learn, we see the biggest successes,
we follow on from that,
So it's a very dynamic business,
but when we say how many children are surviving,
what we've done with malaria, neglected disease,
the progress has been phenomenal,
Childhood death has been cut in half,
Now we wanna cut it in half again,
but that's quite an achievement,
The progress on HIV is perhaps,
according to him, the most astonishing,
Since The Global Fund was created,
deaths have fallen by more than a half,
It was when I started coming
to Africa regularly for the foundation,
that I got to know Nelson Mandela personally,
AIDS was one of the first issues our foundation worked on,
and Nelson Mandela was both an advisor and an inspiration,
but Nelson Mandela was concerned about the future,
He believed people could make the future
better than the past,
And so that's what I wanna focus on
for the remainder of my talk,
what can South Africa become?
What can Africa become?
What can the world become,
and what must we do to make it that way?
Gates saw that there was a possibility
for improvement in innovation,
And he believes in the economic potential of countries
with high levels of malnutrition
to do more to tackle the problem,
By pulling the funding from donors like the US and the UK,
he's working hard to make sure
that medical aid has a great continuous impact,
And he keeps making sure the resources are there
to produce pioneering work,
In 2017, the foundation launched the first
of its annual Goalkeepers Report,
which examines the progress made
in important public health areas
including child mortality, malnutrition, and HIV,
For Gates, it is important that money goes
where the great scientists are,
The UK is a fantastic place to back science,
He claimed the US and the UK
are where the best science can be found today,
which is why he has invested more than a billion dollars
in their research and institutions,
He praises the UK for its commitment,
saying it sends a great message,
And he gives a sense of engagement
with the world of optimism and a belief
that their approach can make a huge difference,
Since I've been involved in health and development,
the UK has maintained its commitment
to helping people in low-income countries,
Not only that, but you have set the standard
for being strategic about how you help,
You're innovative and rigorous
about getting the highest possible return
on your aid investment,
So if you put these two trends together,
innovation and generosity,
you get world-class Scottish agricultural science,
helping hundreds of millions
of the poorest people in the world transform their lives,
In the United States, I take every opportunity I can
to make the case that foreign aid
is both the right and smart thing to do,
I follow the UK Aid debate closely
and I'm convinced that the same arguments apply here,
UK Aid is good for Britain and good for the world,
I wish more people in your country and mine
could see the results,
There are so many incredible institutions here
that are both inventing these drugs and vaccines
and are really gaining the experience,
You know, this country is making a huge difference,
His attentions come from a greater vision
and hope for a better present and future,
He once declared, "We have to find a way
"to make the aspects of capitalism
"that serve wealthier people serve poor people as well,"
British government is very generous in this,
And I think when taxpayers see that it's money well-spent,
that it can achieve a goal like this,
that they are willing to have a few percent of their taxes
go to these causes,
And Britain is a great partner in this,
And the UK government is to be thanked
that as they made trade-offs,
helping the poorest in the most effective way
was something that they were able to preserve,
And that set an example for other governments
on aid generosity,
Certainly the US is gonna be big on this polio campaign,
It takes actually billions of dollars to get this done,
My foundation will be a big giver to this,
but we'll have, I think, 16 different countries
that are backing it,
And the British voters should be proud
of their participation in something important like this,
Gates is contributing to society in a major way
and it doesn't stop here,
He also invested $50 million in 2017
in Alzheimer's research,
And the foundation also tackles domestic issues
such as helping students in the United States
become college-ready by granting funds
to learning institutions and libraries
and supporting scholarships at universities,
He also has plans of building a smart city in Arizona
with futuristic infrastructures and cutting edge technology
in which he invested $80 million,
Gates is also fighting climate change,
He has urged governments and the private sector
to invest in research and development
to make clean, reliable energy cheaper,
He's invested $2 billion of his own money
in clean energy innovation,
In 2018, Gates was heartbroken by the passing
of one of his oldest and dearest childhood friend
and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen,
The brilliant technologist and philanthropist
had left Microsoft in 1983
after a falling out with Gates and Steve Ballmer,
He died of cancer at age 65,
Without him, Gates believes
the largest software company in the world
would never have existed,
Even though Gates led Microsoft to where it stands today,
Allen played a crucial role in creating the company,
Their relationship throughout the years was tumultuous,
Allen recalled one day overhearing Gates
trying to reduce his stake in Microsoft,
but the plan failed as he hanged on to it,
However, their relationship mended,
Gates stood beside him during his cancer treatment,
"He was everything you'd want from a friend",
Allen wrote in his memoir,
Surround yourself with the right people,
and you can accomplish great things
is the lesson Gates has learned from their friendship,
A more difficult pathogen could come along,
a form of flu, a form of SARS
or some type of virus that we haven't seen before,
And so asking ourselves, are we as prepared for that?
We don't know it will happen, but it's high enough chance
that one of the lessons of it all should be
to ask ourselves, are we as ready for that as we should be?
In a TED Talk from 2015, he foresaw the future,
when he urged the world to prepare for war
against a global pandemic,
After years of warning, the world was not ready,
He saw his ominous words come true
with the outbreak of the coronavirus in 2020,
In March 2020, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
teamed with the Wellcome Trust and Mastercard
to pledge $125 million toward efforts to curb the outbreak,
And Gates revealed that his foundation was prepared
to invest billions of dollars into building factories
for the development of a vaccine,
On March 13th, 2020, Microsoft announced Gates
definitely left his board positions at Microsoft
to dedicate his efforts in philanthropic endeavors,
In September 2020, his father passed away
leaving Gates with a painful feeling of grief,
but also gratitude,
He said that his generosity, wisdom, empathy and humility
has had huge influence on people around the world,
but mostly on him,
Gates looked up to him and wrote a note,
remembering his father,
"He was everything I try to be,
"I will miss him every day,"
And you know, so that's exacting,
And so, in fact, in the latest drought
where Ethiopia had less rains than those two,
was actually very small,
Bill Gates has received numerous awards
for his philanthropic work,
Time Magazine named him one of the most influential people
of the 20th century,
It also named Gates and his wife Melinda,
along with rock band U2 lead singer Bono
as the 2005 persons of the year,
He was knighted as an Honorary Knight Commander
of the Order of the British Empire,
bestowed by queen Elizabeth II in 2005,
In 2016, the couple were again recognized
for their philanthropic work,
when they were named recipients
of the presidential Medal of Freedom
by President Barack Obama,
Bill Gates has a vast fortune,
but he's fighting to make the world a better place
by making good use of his money,
investing in the right places
and into organizations he believes in,
He and Melinda are now renowned
for their outstanding charitable work,
They have succeeded beyond his wildest dreams,
The impact Bill Gates has had
on the tech society is undeniable,
The impact of his foundation is phenomenal,
Aid has made a huge difference,
From a loner schoolboy dropout
to multibillionaire tech giant,
Bill Gates has had a long journey, and it is not over,
At 65 years old and with a hope
of making a positive impact in the world,
he continues to use all the resources in his power
to end poverty and suffering,
Our foundation wants to do its part,
And so I'm pleased to announce to you
that we're pledging an additional billion dollars to-
Thank you,
From him we learn that time is valuable
and is necessary to move fast,
He strives for continuous innovation
with ambition, persistence, and perseverance,
He shows us that we can achieve great things,
Success didn't make him arrogant, but wise,
He remained humble, claiming from a young age
that he is not a genius,
His optimistic and confrontational attitude,
his determination and patience makes him a great example,
Bill Gates has made an impact on millions of lives
and his accomplishments are meaningful and significant,
If his goal was to place a computer in every home,
we can probably say that he has reached it,
In 2015 there were more than one billion PCs worldwide,
If his other goal was to push others to be ambassadors
for a better world and save lives,
we can say that he has reached it too,
So we can salute Bill Gates
for his contribution to the world
and his remarkable journey,
as he will probably go down as one of the most successful
and influential people of the 21st century,
