Bill Gates Steps Down From Microsoft Board by Omooba77(op): 10:21pm On Mar 13, 2020

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is stepping down from the company's board to spend more time on philanthropic activities.

He says he wants to focus on global health and development, education and tackling climate change.

One of the world's richest men, Mr Gates, 65, has also left the board of Warren Buffett's massive holding company, Berkshire Hathaway.

Mr Gates stepped down from his day-to-day role running Microsoft in 2008.

Announcing his latest move, Mr Gates said the company would "always be an important part of my life's work" and he would continue to be engaged with its leadership.

But he said: "I am looking forward to this next phase as an opportunity to maintain the friendships and partnerships that have meant the most to me, continue to contribute to two companies of which I am incredibly proud, and effectively prioritise my commitment to addressing some of the world's toughest challenges."

Mr Gates is listed by Forbes as the world's second richest man after Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and is worth $103.6bn (£84.4bn).

He made his fortune developing software for the personal computer.

God bless you Mr Bill. Someday, I will be like you.

All hail to a true master of the game.

He was not intelligent enough to develop anything himself. But he was wise enough to steal other people's invention, commercialize it and milk the world off it. He single handedly managed to impose his once shitty stolen invention into a necessity, a feat that bitcoin creators have not been able to reproduce 10 years since they invented it.

Behold, a great mentalist.

The African Mentalist.
