Bill Gates says he won't leave his inheritance to his children: "These fortunes are almost illegitimate; they have to be returned to society."

Microsoft founder Bill Gates stated in his interview for the Jay Shetty Podcast that he will not leave his multi-million dollar inheritance (currently around $120 billion ) to his children, as such fortunes are considered "almost illegitimate unless they are given very intelligently."

Gates states that, recalling his special commitment to philanthropy , in order to make a better world by helping those most in need, especially referring to these "unprecedented" fortunes, both within the United States and in foreign countries: "They have to have a return to society."

He believes that American morality is based on the principle of helping others, including those in need of resources from other countries, and maintains that in the future this kind of thinking will be revived, in order to create a "better world" with these vast fortunes.

Furthermore, during his speech, he emphasized that, despite Microsoft's success, its primary objective was never to generate a large fortune, but rather to advance the world of technology and computing, insisting that his goal was "to ensure everyone has access to technology."

"We knew that over time, as these things improved, they would become commonplace . As people started to understand it, they said, 'Wow, whether it's at work or at home, this is part of how things are done now,'" he said, recalling the early days of his business.
